It is and it isn't, right? The doctors are still paid by Alberta Health, but they operate a service that does cost a fee. I don't think it's any different from plastic surgeons - they work under the Alberta Health umbrella but do charge fees for services. We don't pay technically for meetings with RFP here in Calgary, but we do pay for the monitoring. Heck, when I did my IUI's (Inter-Uterine Inseminations), I didn't have to pay until I had the procedure done - all of the monitoring prior was done without charge.
If RFP is indeed considered private, I don't know if there really are any public ones in Canada. Maybe Mount Sinai in Toronto since it's in the hospital?
