Extra-Billing and Physician Remuneration

A representative survey of residents of Edmonton, Alberta found early in 1980 before the release of the Hall Report: (1) that the public was strongly opposed to extra-billing; (2) that public perceptions of physician net income were relatively accurate; and (3) that the public felt that physicians deserved a moderate increment in their 1980 incomes. These findings complement the Stoddart and Woodward study on the impact of extra-billing in Ontario and indicate public opinion support for Hall's recommendations that extra-billing be banned and that physicians be adequately compensated
