The ÌÇÐÄÔ´´ has prepared its fourteenth report to the Australian Senate on anti-competitive and other practices by health funds and providers in relation to private health insurance.
The ÌÇÐÄÔ´´ sought submissions from interested parties on the matters outlined in the consultation letter by 21 September 2012.
This year the ÌÇÐÄÔ´´ will examine issues that reduce the extent of health cover and increase consumers’ out-of-pocket expenses which have not formed the focus of previous ÌÇÐÄÔ´´ reports to the Senate. In particular, the ÌÇÐÄÔ´´ will inquire into a perceived lack of recognition of certain allied health care providers by health funds.
