· The Medical Services Commission is an independent body mandated under the Medicare Protection Act to manage the Medical Services Plan (MSP) on behalf of the government of British Columbia.
· The commission is a nine-member statutory body made up of three representatives from government, three representatives from the British Columbia Medical Association (BCMA) and three members from the public jointly nominated by the BCMA and government to represent MSP beneficiaries. This unique partnership ensures government, doctors and B.C. residents all have a voice in the administration of MSP.
·
The audit and
inspection committee has four members, three physicians (one representing
the BCMA, one representing the College
of Physicians and Surgeons of BC and one representing government) together with
one member who represents the public. It performs the powers and duties of the
commission to audit and inspect medical practitioners. Audits are done to make
sure that services have been delivered and billed accurately and in accordance
with Medical Services Act.
