(B)the professional service is a professional attendance by a consultant physician in the practice of his or her specialty; and

(C)the professional service is provided as a certified Type C procedure or certified overnight Type C procedure; and

(D)the insulin infusion pump is provided for the purpose of administering insulin; 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; and

(d)rule 10 sets out listing criteria for the purposes of subsection       72-10(6) of the Act in relation to the granting of a listing application for listing of a kind of prosthesis on Part C of the Schedule.

  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):

(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.

  1. Listing criteria for prostheses to be listed on Part C of the Schedule

For a listing application to list a kind of prosthesis on Part C of the Schedule, the listing criteria are that the kind of prosthesis is an:

(i) insulin infusion pump; or

(ii) implantable cardiac event recorder.

Note: The Minister may refuse to grant a listing application even if the listing

criteria are satisfied.

stent surface is fully coated with a layer

of amorphous hydrogen-rich silicon

carbide (aSiC:H).  This material has

semiconducting properties that efficiently

prevent the electron transfer from

fibrinogen to the metal surface in vitro. 

Thereby the conversion from fibrinogen

to fibrin and it's depoisition at the stent

surface is reduced.  Additionally, aSiC:H -

 coated stents exhibit a lower adhesion

and activation of blood platelets and

leucocytes.  Finally, the release of

potentially allergenic ions from a silicon

carbide coated stent is substantially

reduced in comparison to an uncoated

metal stent3.  This coating is used on all
