Learn how to apply for an exemption and what information will be publicly disclosed.
More contextual information on physician payment disclosure will be available when the payments are posted.
Exemption applications for the first disclosure period closed on Oct. 7, 2020.
The physician disclosure list applies to Alberta physicians to whom fee-for-service (FFS) benefits are paid.
Physicians employed by the Government of Alberta, Alberta Health Services or another public health entity may have salary and benefits associated with their employment disclosed under public sector employee salary and severance disclosure.
Disclosure only includes gross payments of FFS benefits paid under the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan and therefore will not include payments received by a physician from patients or private health insurance for services that are outside the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan.
Government will publicly disclose the following information:
We are committed to protecting the safety and security of physicians.
Physicians may be granted an exemption from public disclosure if the designated official from Justice and Solicitor General determines it could unduly threaten their safety.
Applicants must provide sufficient information to establish a threat that is logically connected with, and could result from, disclosure of the physician’s information under the Alberta Health Care Insurance Act. These threats would need to be different from what could ordinarily occur due to the nature of the physician’s role.
Each physician requires an exemption form – group applications are not accepted.
Exemptions are generally valid for 5 years.
The application period for the following dates closed on October 7, 2020:
Application deadlines for future disclosures will be determined by Alberta Health each fiscal year and will be available on alberta.ca. The deadline will be a minimum of 30 days prior to the date of disclosure.
If an exemption is granted, government staff will notify the applicant. Approved exemptions will be effective for 5 years.
If an exemption is not granted, government staff will notify the applicant.
