FHO Formation Just Got Easier
Starting April 1, 2026, updated co-location rules require only two physicians per location instead of three to establish a new FHO — opening the door for more practices to qualify.
Expressions of Interests (EOIs) can be submitted now, and early planning is key.
Our DoctorCare team can:
- Assess your eligibility
- Prepare your EOI
- Guide you through the FHO formation process from start to finish.

Practicing in a FHG, FFS, or CCM?
DoctorCare has helped hundreds of practices transition from a Family Health Group (FHG) or Fee for Service (FFS) to a Family Health Organization (FHO). We can help you fully understand the FHO model, guide you through transition, and show you how to increase income predictability and flexibility.
Key benefits of joining a FHO:
- Earn up to 18% more through additional premiums and performance bonuses that are only available to FHOs.
- Secure stable income with 80% guaranteed earnings, independent of patient volume and income predictability.
- Prioritize quality care over appointment quantity.
- Improve patient access and continuity of care.
Increase Your Income by 18%
Doctors who transition to a FHO model with DoctorCare see an average 18% income increase. With our help, you will learn how to increase your revenue in the FHO model without disrupting your current practice.
We help you determine if a FHO transition is the right move for your practice:
- Understand the difference between FHG and FHO models
- Know the importance of effective roster management
- Learn the steps to ensure a smooth transition between models
- Get strategies and tactics to optimize all available premiums and bonuses
