Quebec health minister Gaetan Barrette announced Wednesday that he wishes to standardize the cost of medical treatments for the province.
According to the Montreal Gazette, Barrette believes the standardized costs will save Quebec "hundreds of millions of dollars” and will reduce waiting times for patients.
Barrette also wishes to set an average base price for each health service in order for hospitals to bill the government and kickstart an initiative called “activity-based funding”.
Healthcare IT company Logibec will study the costs of medical procedures in institutions across the province.
The process is due to cost taxpayers up to 70 million dollars.
