The Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA) welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the Department of Health and Aged Care’s consultation on expanding the list of health professionals for which insurer benefits under chronic disease management programs (CDMPs) would become eligible for risk equalisation across health insurers.
AHHA conditionally supports expanding the list of health professionals eligible for benefits under CDMPs, provided it does not compromise timely access to high-quality, multidisciplinary care under CDMPs for patients who do not have private health insurance.
