Chan said Tuesday that LOG isa

pillient for a service.

Said Chan about Winkler’s
extra-billing, “ICs not out of fine.”

Opted-out doctors bill patients

edical extra billing questioned

Chin said in May that opted-out
doctors make less than other doc.
tars. in part, because they don't
receive the government- funded
pension plan benefits.

Winkler said he could afford it
and didn't mind paying the extra
Inoney to the doctor.

There are 3 opted-out doctors
on the North Shore, A total of 46
B.C. doctors direct bill patients for
medical services, The move came
asa result of a fee dispute with the
provingial government,

Extra-bitling is a violation of the
Canada Health Act.
