The majority of NPs in Ontario are salaried.  According to CNO, NPs are permitted to collect payments or charge fees for the completion of forms and letters, etc., as long as there is no conflict of interest. CNO advises that to reduce the risk of conflict that the NP work with their employer to ensure policies are in place to provide guidance regarding the collection of payments or fees for these types of services. If no policies are in place, NPs are encouraged to keep a record of any discussions held with their employer about fees. NPAO encourages NPs to refer to the CNO website for practice resources related to charging fees (See http://www.cno.org/np - NP Practice Q & A, General). In addition, refer to CNO’s Professional Misconduct document for more information about professional accountabilities of NPs when charging fees.
