Health Insurance (Prescribed Pathology Services) Determination 2011

Authoritative Version
Determinations/Health as made
This Determination revokes and remakes the 2010 Determination due to an oversight where no arrangements were made for the rendering of prescribed pathology services by participating nurse practitioners to be 'professional services within the meaning of the Act, thus the services were still not Medicare eligible and in doing so new pathology items are created with respect to participating nurse practitioners.
