Annotation:

The Reciprocal Billing Agreement allows physicians to bill their own provincial and territorial medical care plans for services provided to residents of other jurisdictions. These data are reported to CIHI in the National Physician Database. The report includes summary and detailed tables. The summary tables indicate the total number of services provided and received by each province, the total dollar value of these services and cost per service. The detailed tables show utilization for each individual province by home province of the patient and host province of the provider.

Both summary and detailed tables show breakdowns by physician specialty and type of service.
