Big news for Ontario family doctors: the patient attachment bonus is finally here!

As of November 1, 2026, PEM physicians can bill the new unattached patient fees, retroactive to July 1, 2025.

That means every eligible patient you’ve enrolled in the past 16 months could now qualify for payment. For practices that have been actively enrolling, that can add up to thousands of dollars.

But the details matter:
✅ The bonus must be billed with an in-person visit on or after the enrollment date
✅ All retroactive claims must be submitted by the May 2027 claims processing cut-off

Miss either one, and those payments could be left on the table.

Swipe for the key details, or read our latest blog for the full breakdown: eligibility, forms, billing examples and FAQs. https://loom.ly/BiYnSj0
