It’s all hands on deck if we are to turn this provider travel time denial ship around so we’re hoping you’ll get involved.
We’ve been invited to meet with the Ministry of Finance soon in response to the letter we sent and will report back once that’s taken place.
It’s vital that we reach out to MPPs so that we are approaching government from multiple angles. Politicians care about their constituents/voters. This is where you come in. Contact your MPP and ask for a meeting. We have developed some Travel Time Talking Points which you can revise as needed to best suit you/your practice and that you can use in an email, phone message or meeting.
Please help get political eyes on this issue by meeting with your MPP.
We have also had an initial response from our letter to FSRA which involves the now familiar usual side-step around what seems to be their responsibility. We will keep pushing.
And in further news on the death by a thousand cuts front we’ve learned that that scorched earth policy on Attendant Care levels and rates is expanding to other insurers. Bad faith like bad news continues to travel fast.
FSRA Fee Rule Consultation
FSRA is having a consultation on its regulatory fees proposal that will close the end of February. Hugely surprising (I saved the best news for last) is that they are not proposing an increase to HSP fees. Nevertheless, we will respond. We can’t wait to talk to FSRA about fees.
