I recently found out that US internists cannot bill the same as Canadian internists. Some of the codes are restricted for US internists. I was looking at the codes and it seems like the difference in pay can be a lot for the same kind of work/counseling. I wish I had known this a little earlier. With 20-30% overhead fee, it looks like we are at significant disadvantage. Only way to access GIM codes is to get FRCPC recognition by doing 1 extra year of fellowship. I would appreciate it if any US internists who are currently practicing in BC can explain it. I am about to move next month. I wish I had found this earlier.
