Doctors in private practice are generally paid through fee-for-service schedules that itemize each service and pay a fee to the doctor for each service rendered. These are negotiated between each provincial and territorial government and the medical professions in their respective jurisdictions. Those in other practice settings, such as clinics, community health centres and group practices, are more likely to be paid through an alternative payment scheme, such as salaries or a blended payment (e.g., fee-for-service payments plus incentives for providing certain services such as the enhanced management of chronic diseases).

According to the 2013 National Physician Survey, 32.9% of primary care physicians are paid under fee-for-service, 45.9% are paid according to a blended system (which combines elements of several payment schemes), 6.3% are salaried and 2.5% are on capitation.
