Provincial Attachment System Reimbursement

Learn how Provincial Attachment System (PAS) reimbursement works for eligible nurse practitioners, including participation requirements, payment setup and direct deposit.

The Provincial Attachment System (PAS) is a provincial program delivered by the Ministry of Health, designed to facilitate attachment for patients across British Columbia, inform longitudinal primary care provider compensation, and support primary care health system planning. If you are a nurse practitioner employed by a British Columbia Health Authority and participating in the Provincial Attachment System program, you may be eligible to receive incentive payments.

How PAS reimbursement works

PAS incentive payments are based on:

  1. Participation in PAS
  2. Submission of required panel data
  3. Meeting eligibility criteria defined by the program

Important: Completing PAS activities makes you eligible for payment, but you must also complete the payment setup to receive funds.

Once these requirements are met, payments are issued through the NP-PIP program.

Step-by-step process for receiving reimbursements

  • Participate in PAS processes
  • Follow program guidelines and timelines

Refer to detailed guidance:

Ensure that all required information has been submitted through PAS.

  • Follow applicable processes and program requirements
  • Ensure panel and activity information is up to date

Submission of required information is used to determine eligibility for incentive payments.

All payments are issued through NNPBC’s NP-PIP program and made via direct deposit. To receive your PAS incentive payments, you must register for direct deposit through the secure payment system, SparcPay.

Register for SparcPay

Need help completing the direct deposit (SparcPay) form?

Follow the steps below to successfully complete the vendor sign-up form:

  1. Select “No” when asked if you want to get paid faster (this ensures payment by direct deposit/EFT)
  2. Enter NNPBC in the “Referred by” field
  3. Select “An Individual” as the vendor type
  4. Enter your first and last name
  5. Enter your home address (including city, province, and postal code)
  6. Upload a void cheque (this can be downloaded from your online banking)
  7. Enter your personal email address (payment confirmations will be sent here)
  8. Select “None” for categories
  9. Click “Verify”
  10. Click “Submit”

You only need to complete this form once.

What happens after you register?

Once your payment information has been submitted:

  • Your information will be securely processed  
  • Payments will be issued based on your PAS eligibility and submissions
  • Funds will be deposited directly to your registered account

Processing timelines may vary depending on submission cycles and verification requirements.

Important information

Payment setup is separate from PAS participation. In order to receive reimbursements, you must complete both:

  • PAS requirements (eligibility)
  • Direct deposit registration (payment)

Failure to complete payment registration may result in delays. You will not be able to register after the end of registration deadline.

You do not need to re-register unless your banking information changes or you are instructed to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Direct deposit registration is a one-time setup.

You may not have completed payment registration, or your submission may still be processing.
