Coverage and Reimbursement Information
As per the Collective Agreement, Medical Residents are required to maintain Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) professional liability and malpractice coverage. Non-medical Residents are required to maintain appropriate professional liability and malpractice insurance acceptable to the Employer.
While the Collective Agreement stipulates that the employer is responsible for paying all but the lesser amount of 25% or $625.00 of Residents’ CMPA fees, CMPA is no longer accepting third party payments as of June 2020. This means that, as of July 2020, Residents will need to pay CMPA directly, and then be reimbursed by Shared Health. Once you receive your receipt of payment, email the receipt to [email protected] . When submitting receipts to Shared Health, please use the subject line “CMPA REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST” in your email. Please note that you can obtain a Statement of Account by signing into the CMPA member portal, however, monthly payments will only show as paid once the monthly payment is completed.
In accordance with the PARIM Collective Agreement, residents will be reimbursed appropriately whether you choose the annual or monthly pay option. However, the timing of the reimbursement will depend on your method of payment.
If you have further questions for CMPA, please see their FAQ page https://www.cmpa-acpm.ca/en/membership/fees-and-payment or call CMPA directly at 1-800-267-6522.
