Part 2        Benefit requirements

  1. Listing of, and benefits, for prostheses

For item 4 of the table in subsection 72-1 (2) of the Act:

(a)the Schedule lists the prostheses (listed prostheses) the Minister has listed under subsection 72-10 (5) of the Act and section 12 of the Private Health Insurance (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Act 2007; and

Note: Section 12 of the Private Health Insurance (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Act 2007 deals with the listing of a prosthesis that was a no gap prosthesis or a gap permitted prosthesis for the purposes of the National Health Act 1953 immediately before the commencement of the Act.

(b)rule 6 sets out the method for working out the minimum benefit and maximum benefit for hospital treatment, covered under a complying private health insurance policy, that is the provision of a listed prosthesis in circumstances where:

(i)a medicare benefit is payable in respect of the professional service associated with the provision of the prosthesis; or

(ii)the provision of the prosthesis is associated with podiatric treatment by an accredited podiatrist; and

(c)rule 7 sets out the method for working out the minimum benefit and maximum benefit for hospital-substitute treatment, covered under a complying private health insurance policy, that is the provision of a listed prosthesis in circumstances where a medicare benefit is payable in respect of the professional service associated with the provision of the prosthesis.

  1. Benefits for prostheses provided as part of hospital treatment

(1)     For a no gap prosthesis provided as part of an episode of hospital treatment by a private hospital in the circumstances mentioned in paragraph 5(b), the minimum benefit and the maximum benefit are each the amount for that prosthesis listed in the column in the Schedule under the heading ‘Minimum Benefit’.

(2)     For a gap permitted prosthesis provided as part of an episode of hospital treatment by a private hospital in the circumstances mentioned in paragraph 5(b):

(a)the minimum benefit is the amount for that prosthesis in the column in the Schedule under the heading ‘Minimum Benefit’; and

(b)the maximum benefit is the amount for that prosthesis in the column in the Schedule under the heading ‘Maximum Benefit’.

(3)     For a no gap prosthesis provided as part of an episode of hospital treatment by a public hospital in the circumstances mentioned in paragraph 5(b):

(a)the minimum benefit is the lesser of the following amounts:

(i)the amount for that prosthesis listed in the column under the heading ‘Minimum Benefit’ in the Schedule; or

(ii)the amount of the insured person’s liability to the public hospital for that prosthesis; and

(b)the maximum benefit is the amount for that prosthesis listed in the column under the heading 'Minimum Benefit'.

(4)     For a gap permitted prosthesis provided as part of an episode of hospital treatment by a public hospital in the circumstances mentioned in paragraph 5(b):

(a)the minimum benefit is the lesser of the following amounts:

(i)the amount for that prosthesis listed in the column under the heading ‘Minimum Benefit’ in the Schedule; or

(ii)the amount of the insured person’s liability to the public hospital for that prosthesis; and

(b)the maximum benefit is the amount for that prosthesis listed in the column under the heading ‘Maximum Benefit’ in the Schedule.

  1. Benefits for prostheses provided as part of hospital-substitute treatment

(1)     For a no gap prosthesis provided as part of an episode of hospital-substitute treatment in the circumstances mentioned in paragraph 5(c) the minimum benefit and the maximum benefit are each the amount for that prosthesis listed in the column in the Schedule under the heading ‘Minimum Benefit’.

(2)     For a gap permitted prosthesis provided as part of an episode of hospital-substitute treatment in the circumstances mentioned in paragraph 5(c):

(a)the minimum benefit is the amount for that prosthesis in the column in the Schedule under the heading ‘Minimum Benefit’; and

(b)the maximum benefit is the amount for that prosthesis in the column in the Schedule under the heading ‘Maximum Benefit’.

Note:       Private health insurers cannot cover, as part of hospital-substitute treatment, a service for which medicare benefit is payable unless the service is specified in the Private Health Insurance (Health Insurance Business) Rules 2007―see paragraph 121-10 (3) (a) of the Act.

  1. Timing of applications to have a prosthesis listed

As a matter of normal administrative practice, applications made under subsection 72-10 (2) of the Act will be considered after they have been received and, if the Minister decides to grant the application, the prosthesis will be listed in the Schedule the next time the Minister makes or varies the Rules.

Note 1:     Under subsection 72-10 (5) of the Act the Minister must list the kind of prosthesis, set out the minimum benefit and, if the Minister considers it appropriate, the maximum benefit for the prosthesis in these Rules on the next occasion that the Minister makes or varies the Rules after he or she grants an application and the applicant has paid to the Commonwealth any initial listing fee within 14 days of being informed of the Minister's decision to grant the application.

Note 2:     Under subsection 72-15 (3) of the Act, the Minister may remove a prosthesis from the list in the Rules if the applicant fails to pay an ongoing listing fee..

  1. Minister may have regard to recommendations and advice

(1) In making the decision under subsection 72-10 of the Act, the Minister may have regard to a recommendation from the Prostheses and Devices Committee.

(2)     In setting the minimum and the maximum (if any) amounts for a prosthesis, the Minister may have regard to the amounts as negotiated between the Prostheses and Devices Negotiating Group and the applicant.
