AMA submission on the annual premium round process for private health insurers
This submission addresses selected issues raised by the Department of Health and Aged Care (DoHAC) under the headings in its consultation paper.
There are relatively simple reforms and changes that will address current inadequacies and improve the premium round process. However, in the absence of broader reform to the private health system, these changes will do little to address issues of viability, value for consumers or drive the adoption of new models of care. The AMA will continue to engage with the Government and DoHAC on these further reforms.
