Prostheses List Reforms - Consultation Paper 2(a) - Modernisation of Part B of the Prostheses List

Overview

The Department of Health - Prostheses List Reforms Taskforce invites submissions in relation to proposed improvements to the Private Health Insurance (PHI) Prostheses List (PL) as approved by Government and reflected in the 2021-2022 Federal Budget.

The Prostheses List reforms - Consultation Paper No 2 concerns amendments to Part B of the PL, and it will be presented in two parts: 

1- The present paper (2a) reflects the design stage of the reforms to Part B of the PL. It presents the current structure of Part B and puts forward ideas to improve this section in line with the changes that will apply to the rest of the Prostheses List.

This is your opportunity to put forward your ideas on how Part B should work and provide us with your particular point of view.

Consultation Paper No 2(a) will be open for consultation from 11 January to 4 March 2022.  It is suggested you read Consultation Paper No 2 (a) in conjunction with Consultation Paper No 3 - A modernised fit-for-purpose listing process.

2- Once we receive your comments, ideas and concerns, the Taskforce will present you with Consultation Paper No 2(b) in the second quarter of 2022. This subsequent paper will pose specific questions for consultation.
