As a result of an internal delay within the
Office of the Comptroller General in processing fee-for-service payments
to physicians for the current pay period, electronic payments that were
scheduled to be made early morning today (Wednesday, October 20) did not
occur on schedule.
Instead of these payments being deposited into
bank accounts early this morning, the majority of the individuals who
were affected will now receive their electronic payments later today,
while a small number of individuals can expect to receive theirs by no
later than shortly after midnight tonight.
The Department of Finance has informed
physicians with a message distributed by the Newfoundland and Labrador
Medical Association to its membership.
