The Longitudinal Family Physician (LFP) payment model is an alternative to the fee-for-service model and supports family physicians who provide longitudinal family medicine care.
Family physicians are compensated for spending extra time with patients, especially those with complex needs, such as patients with mental-health conditions, and seniors. For more information, refer to the Longitudinal Family Physician (LFP) Payment Model.
There are five dashboards you can use for LFP reporting:
Diagnosis Codes Billed (embedded view)
Diagnosis Codes Billed (embedded view)
Look at the complexity of your patient by diagnosis. Found in the summary view of a patient's chart in the Embedded View section.

LFP Patients
Finds all patients whose status is Active by Primary Provider. For more information on marking a patient as active, refer to Updating patient demographics.
Patient Seen Not Active - Patients that have had an appointment in the last 3 years but their Patient Status is not set to Active. You may want to consider marking these patients as active so they are included in your patient panel.
💡 Tip: To mark these patients as active patients, the CHR team can mass update this list of patients to have an Active status. Contact the TELUS Health support team through the support chat.
Patient Active Not Seen - Patients that have an Active status but have not been seen in the last 3 years. You may want to consider marking these patients as inactive so they are not included in your patient panel.
