Alberta is considering paying some doctors more than $500 an hour to treat swine flu patients if there is a pandemic.
The pay rate is part of a proposal being worked on by the province and the Alberta Medical Association. It would apply to doctors who volunteered to work as part of a government flu response plan that would kick in if the health system were significantly disrupted by H1N1 or if a state of public-health emergency were declared.
Doctors who agreed to work night shifts under the Physician Financial Support Program would be paid $518.45 an hour, according to a letter the association has sent to doctors.
The rate for evenings would be $403.24 an hour and the weekday rate would be $259.23 an hour.
