Continued from page 15 The Health Insurance Amendment (Compliance) Act 2011 The Health Insurance Amendment (Compliance) Act 2011 (the Act) was passed by the Australian Parliament and began operation on 9 April 2011. It relates to Medicare services provided on or after this date. Key features of this Act are: • The DHS can now issue a notice to health professionals, or a person in charge of professionals’ records, if there is a reasonable concern a Medicare benefit has been paid that exceeds the amount that should have been paid. This notice will require a health care professional to produce documents to substantiate services. An administrative penalty with a base rate of 20% for unsubstantiated amounts that total more than $2,500 has been introduced. This penalty is automatically decreased where a health professional voluntarily cooperates with an audit but can be increased where a health professional does not cooperate. • Health professionals can seek a review of the decision from the Department of Human Services to recover funds for a Medicare service that has not been substantiated. The Act only applies to professional services provided on or after 9 April 2011 There are a number of health professional guidelines, which form part of the series in the Health Professionals section of the Medicare website, and which are designed to help the doctors to understand the documents they can use to substantiate services if they are asked to participate in a Medicare compliance audit. These include: • Substantiating that a patient attended a service • Substantiating that a specific treatment was performed • Substantiating that a valid referral existed (Specialist or Consultant Physician) • Substantiating that a valid request existed (Pathology or Diagnostic Imaging) • Substantiating that a patient had a previous condition at the time of service • Substantiating proof of malignancy where required for MBS items. The current Compliance National Programme’s areas of interest include: • Bulk bill incentive items • Care plans • Health support programs • Diagnostic Imaging and Pathology • Prescribing • High-risk providers. If Medicare knocks on your door regarding any of the above, as a member, your first response should be to immediately contact the AMA for assistance. When the auditors call, this will be the best move you make from a professional and emotional standpoint. Medicare audits contain stronger safeguards for protecting a patient’s privacy.
