About

About Dr.Plus Smart Hours

Dr.Plus Smart Hours is a productivity suite built for Ontario family physicians working under the Family Health Organization Plus (FHO+) model. It helps doctors track their billable clinical hours with precision, stay on the right side of Ministry of Health compliance rules, and run the day to day of their practice with less effort. Every part of it follows the way a busy family physician actually works, from logging a single time block to producing a clean billing summary at the end of the day.

Where the app saves the most time is in the work that usually drags on after patients leave. It generates the correct OHIP billing codes and payable 15 minute units automatically from the hours you logged, so there is no manual code lookup or unit math. It also produces the full EMR documentation that OHIP requires for each day, ready to save to your EMR, which removes the separate daily note that doctors normally write by hand. Along the way it watches the daily and monthly hour caps and the indirect and clinical admin ratio limits, and warns you before you cross a line. You can see how much room is left in every category and make choices that keep earnings as high as possible while staying compliant. No clinical patient data is stored, since the platform is purely administrative and operational.

Dr.Plus Smart Hours is built and maintained by Dr. Plus Physician Services Inc. We make practical, non-clinical tools that cut down the paperwork load for Ontario family doctors. The goal is simple: give physicians their time back by turning slow hour tracking and billing into a quick, accurate, and compliant process. We work closely with practising FHO+ physicians so the product stays in step with current billing rules and the realities of real practice.

FAQ

FHO+ Hours Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about how the FHO+ hours calculator works for Ontario family physicians.

What is an FHO+ hours calculator?
An FHO+ hours calculator, sometimes called an FHO plus hours calculator, is a tool that helps Ontario family physicians working under the Family Health Organization Plus (FHO+) model track their billable clinical hours, convert them into payable 15-minute units, and stay compliant with Ministry of Health billing rules. Dr.Plus Smart Hours is a free FHO+ hours calculator built specifically for Ontario family doctors.
How are FHO+ payable units calculated?
FHO+ payable units are calculated in 15-minute blocks. For example, 30 minutes equals 2 payable units. If you log 23 minutes, the calculator rounds up to a full block when you are 8 or more minutes into the next 15-minute period. Four payable units equal 1 payable hour, which is what gets billed.
What are the FHO+ indirect and admin hour limits?
Under FHO+ rules, combined Indirect Care and Clinical Administration hours should not exceed 25% of your total payable hours, and Clinical Administration hours alone should not exceed 5% of your combined Direct Care and Indirect Care hours. The Dr.Plus FHO+ calculator monitors these ratios in real time and warns you before you cross a limit.
Is the FHO+ hours calculator free for Ontario physicians?
Yes. Dr.Plus Smart Hours is free for Ontario FHO+ family physicians and family doctors, with no credit card required. You can track hours, generate billing summaries, and export EMR-ready documentation at no cost.
Does the FHO+ calculator store clinical patient data?
No. Dr.Plus Smart Hours is a non-clinical, administrative platform. It tracks your time, payable units, and billing compliance only, and does not store any clinical patient information.
