My primary concern with this is the placement of the clause highlighting that fees for uninsured services must take into account patients' ability to pay - it's been moved from section 1.3 to 6.c. in the proposed structure, effectively de-emphasizing it. Unfortunately many Government of Alberta social programs require forms (such as Alberta Works medicals, or applying for disability tax credit forms for AISH recipients) which are not reimbursed. I have seen multiple patients reporting charges of over $100 for completing these forms; while this does accurately reflect the time and effort that goes into these forms, Alberta Works and AISH recipients are definitionally living in poverty, and these charges represent a substantial proportion of their income. This is done under the current standard, and I fear that moving this clause further down the "batting order" will increase the number of charges which are unsustainable to patients.
