Protect the Flow of your POSP Funds

Attention: POSP Physicians and Clinic Managers

POSP needs to know… Are you relocating? Retiring? Going on Maternity Leave? To ensure POSP funding is not interrupted, physicians are reminded they must notify the POSP program office of any change in their work location or working circumstances-including a move to a new clinic, retirement, maternity or sick leave, sabbatical or simply an address or email change. POSP funds are tied to individual physicians. An unreported clinic relocation or other work change can affect the flow of program funds to the right physician, eliminating locum funding and forcing repayment issues and delays to correct the change.

There are three ways to notify POSP about a change:

Visit www.posp.ca, fill out a POSP Change Form and fax it to the POSP Operations Administrator at 780.452.1869
Call 1.866.817.3875
Email POSP

Any physician who makes a change in their work circumstance are to update their information with POSP when the change occurs. This will ensure all contact information is accurate and that all changes in physicians' work circumstances are captured by POSP. The obligation for physicians to inform POSP of any change is outlined in the POSP Service Agreement and Letter of Agreement which states: "the participant shall notify POSP of any changes in circumstances that would materially affect enrolment in the program (e.g., relocation of practice, sabbatical, leaving the province, retirement, maternity/disability leaves, inability to maintain outcomes, etc)."

Please be aware that changes to your work location or circumstances may also trigger a requirement for a new Privacy Impact Assessment, or the start of Bridge Funding for clinics recruiting physician replacement. POSP relies on accurate contact information to keep physicians informed about the program. As tracking physician movement can be difficult, POSP Operations appreciates your quick response to this important administrative notice.
