Overview

The Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority (IHACPA) released its Consultation Paper on Bundling Arrangements for General Use Items on the Prostheses List for public consultation from 14 September to 12 October 2022.

In December 2022, IHACPA provided the Department with Advice on Bundling Arrangements for General Use Items on the Prostheses List. If required, IHACPA will provide the Department with supplementary information in April 2023 to assist with the interpretation and use of its advice on bundling arrangements.

The feedback and comments received through this public consultation informed the development of IHACPA’s December 2022 advice on bundling arrangements. IHACPA’s advice includes a summary of the feedback received through the public consultation, together with IHACPA’s consideration of the feedback.
