Definition:

Claims (billings) submitted to the provincial government by physicians on alternate payment plans (APP) for services they provide. Unlike physician claims submitted by fee-for-service physicians for payment, these claims are for administrative purposes only (i.e.: as a record of services provided). Also known as "Evaluation Claims" and "Dummy Claims".
