Primary care services and emergency department visits in blended fee-for-service and blended capitation models: evidence from Ontario, Canada

ConclusionPrimary care physicians practicing in Ontario ’s blended capitation model provide fewer primary care services compared to those practicing in a blended FFS model. Although the overall rate of ED visits was higher among patients enrolled to FHO physicians, multimorbid patients of FHO physicians make fewer urgent and very-urgent ED visits.
