Membership fees
The CMPA sets membership fees annually by reviewing
the experience with claims and costs, actuarial estimates of liabilities
and projected estimates of investment income.
Membership fees differ depending on the type of work (TOW) performed as well as the region in which members are working or are registered in a training program or are moonlighting. Fees reflect the risks inherent in each TOW (practice), as well as regional variations in medico-legal costs. The three fee regions are Québec, Ontario and the Rest of Canada. Read the regional rating structure for more information.
Membership fees are prorated based on a full
month. If you are a first-time applicant, you must pay for
a minimum of two months in your first calendar year. You may be entitled
to our flexible
date membership option; please contact
the CMPA to verify your eligibility.
The CMPA does not offer part-time membership
or senior membership rates.
How to determine your membership fee
You can calculate the membership fee that applies
to your particular situation by using the online fee
calculator.
Your actual membership fee is based on the CMPA
Fee Schedule:
The Fee Schedule provides a complete listing of the fee that corresponds to each TOW and region of Canada. It also provides a description of each TOW code. To determine the fee that applies to you, select the TOW code that most accurately reflects all of your professional responsibilities. If you do more than one TOW, select the one with the highest risk. Then select the fee region where you work, are registered in a training program, or moonlight. If you work in more than one fee region, select the region with the highest fee. See the instructions in Trainees and Clinical Fellows if you are applying for membership in TOW code 12, 13 or 14.
Annual receipt for membership fee
While the CMPA does not issue income tax receipts, the CMPA Annual Receipt for Membership Fee is provided as a service to members to help determine their eligibility for an income tax deduction. This receipt is usually mailed to members each year in February. For details about tax laws governing your province/territory, please consult your tax advisor.
