Not in force
7. The regional department of general medicine authorizes the physician to perform the minimum number of hours of medical activities required under subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph of section 4, according to the priorities established by government regulation and taking into account the choice indicated by the physician, subject to the required privileges being granted to the physician in accordance with section 242 of the Act respecting health services and social services (chapter S-4.2).
Despite the first paragraph, the regional department may, for the purpose of responding adequately to the needs in its region and in the circumstances prescribed by government regulation, authorize a physician who so requests to perform more than the required minimum number of hours of medical activities. Such a physician is exempted from providing medical care, for the purposes of subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph of section 4, to the caseload of patients determined by government regulation. The regional department informs the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (the Board) of the exemption.
