5.          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 kinds of prostheses:

(i)in relation to which the Minister has granted an application for listing under subsection 72-10 (5) of the Act; or

(ii)which are listed in accordance with 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.

(aa)        circumstances in which a listed prosthesis is provided for the purposes of paragraph (d) of item 4 of the table in subsection 72-1(2) are set out in rule 5A; and

(ab)       conditions that must be satisfied in relation to the provision of a listed prosthesis for the purposes of paragraphs (c) and (d) of item 4 of the table in subsection 72-1(2) are set out in rule 5B; and

(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; 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.

5A.      Circumstances in which a prosthesis is provided other than circumstances in which a medicare benefit is payable

For the purposes of paragraph (d) of item 4 of the table in subsection 72-1(2) of the Act, the following circumstances are set out:

(a)    the provision of a listed prosthesis which is associated with podiatric treatment by an accredited podiatrist.

Note:       Paragraph (c) of Item 4 of subsection 72-1(2) deals with the provision of a listed prosthesis in circumstances in which a medicare benefit is payable.

5B.      Conditions in relation to the provision of listed prostheses

For the purposes of paragraphs (c) and (d) of item 4 of the table in subsection 72-1(2) of the Act, conditions that must be satisfied in relation to the provision of a listed prosthesis in the circumstances covered by paragraph (c) or (d) of that item, as the case may be, are:

(a)     in relation to any kind of prosthesis where there is a statement of a requirement under the heading 'Condition' in the Schedule under the listing for that kind of prosthesis, that requirement; and

(b)     in relation to a listed prosthesis that is an insulin infusion pump, also:

(i)      the professional service associated with the provision of the insulin infusion pump must be a professional attendance by a consultant physician in the practice of his or her specialty; and

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

(iii)    the insulin infusion pump must be provided for the purpose of administering insulin.

Note:       Item 4 of the table in subsection 72-1(2) of the Act states other requirements in relation to benefits for the provision of prostheses that a policy that covers hospital treatment must meet.  These requirements relate to benefits for hospital treatment and, if the policy covers hospital-substitute treatment, to the benefits of that coverage as well.

6.          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, 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:

(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:

(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:

(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.

Note:       Paragraphs (d) and (e) of subsection 72-10(5) of the Act deal with the fixing of minimum and maximum benefits when the Minister is making or varying the Private Health Insurance (Prostheses) Rules.

7.          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 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:

(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 1:         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 ―see paragraph 121-10 (3) (a) of the Act.

Note 2:         Paragraphs (d) and (e) of subsection 72-10(5) of the Act deal with the fixing of minimum and maximum benefits when the Minister is making or varying the Private Health Insurance (Prostheses) Rules.

Part 3         Other

8.          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 kind of 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 kind of prosthesis from the list in the Rules if the applicant fails to pay an ongoing listing fee.

9.           Minister may have regard to recommendations and advice

In making the decision under subsection 72-10 of the Act, the Minister may have regard to a recommendation from the Prostheses List Advisory Committee.

10.        Listing criteria for prostheses to be listed in Part C of the Schedule

For a listing application to be granted to list a kind of prosthesis in Part C of the Schedule, the listing criterion is that the kind of prosthesis is an:

(i) insulin infusion pump; or

(ii) implantable cardiac event recorder.

Note:       1.  The power to make listing criteria is in subsection 72-10(6) of the Act.

2.  Under subsection 72-10(7) of the Act the Minister must not grant a listing application if any applicable listing criteria are not satisfied in relation to the application.

3.  Under the Act the Minister may refuse to grant a listing application even if the listing criteria are satisfied.  See Note to subsection 72-10(7) of the Act.
