SCHEDULE 5 – PROSTHESES AND HUMAN TISSUES

5.1Subject to any indications on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) in relation to a prosthesis specified in Part A, this Schedule sets out the prostheses and human tissues provided to a private patient of a hospital or day hospital facility for which benefits must be paid.  Clinical choice remains a matter between the doctor and the patient and is not to be influenced by the manufacturer, supplier or the registered health benefits organisation (RHBO).

5.2In this Schedule:

“hospital” includes a day hospital facility;

human tissues” means the items included in Part B;

prostheses” means the items included in Part A; and

references to a manufacturer, supplier, hospital or a RHBO include any agent acting

on their behalf.

Prostheses

Subject to any indications on the ARTG in relation to a prosthesis specified in Part A, the level of benefit payable in respect of a prosthesis specified in Part A is the fee or charge agreed between the RHBO and one only of the manufacturer, supplier or hospital.

Note:     Other than the fees or charges permitted under clause 5.3, no additional charges can be imposed on a patient by a manufacturer, supplier, hospital or a RHBO.

Where the fee or charge is agreed between the RHBO and either the manufacturer or supplier under paragraph 5.3, then the RHBO and the manufacturer or supplier must advise all hospitals of the fee or charge agreed within two weeks of the date of the agreement.

This is page 1 of 682 of Schedule 5 attached to the Determination under Schedule 1 paragraph (bj) National Health Act 1953 (Determination HIB 11/2005) made by the Delegate of the Minister for Health and Ageing on 24 June 2005.

Where the fee or charge for an item cannot be agreed between the RHBO and one of the manufacturer, supplier or hospital the relevant parties may agree to request the Department of Health and Ageing to appoint a conciliator to assist them to reach agreement on the fee or charge for the item for the purpose of paragraph 5.3.  If the parties so request they shall, in equal measure, meet all of the costs incurred by the Department of Health and Ageing in arranging and facilitating this conciliation process.

If an agreement on the fee or charge for an item cannot be reached, the Minister will exercise his/her powers under paragraph (bj) of Schedule 1 to the National Health Act 1953 to determine the minimum level of benefit payable for the item in dispute.

Human tissues

The level of benefit payable in respect of a human tissue supplied by a particular facility is the amount specified in the “Amount” field of Part B.

Notes:

The organisations specified in the “Facility” field of Part B must comply with any applicable State and Territory laws governing harvesting and processing of human tissue items to be eligible for the payment of private health insurance benefits.

Other than the fees or charges permitted under clause 5.7, no additional charges can be imposed on a patient by a manufacturer, supplier, hospital or a RHBO.
