Prostheses List Abbreviated Pathway Pilot Opportunity

08 November, 2019

Members may be aware that MTAA is working with the Department of Health to implement a new Abbreviated Pathway for certain types of Prostheses List applications. The Department has advised that it will run a pilot for the proposed Abbreviated Pathway for the next round of PL applications starting in January. The pilot will run in parallel with the standard pathway – in other words, a sponsor’s application would be considered under both pathways simultaneously. However, only the decision arising from the standard pathway will stand.

Prescribed List (formerly Prostheses List) Reform Update

10 August, 2023

Changes to the Prescribed List (PL) continue to be implemented and consultations are also underway. There has been recent media relating to the government announcement back on 14 June to postpone delisting of General Use items (Part D) from the PL but without having any interim bundling arrangements. The news reflected commentary by stakeholders not any new government policy. MTAA continues to work to push back on this policy, particularly the unanticipated additional 10% reduction.
