That 2013 rule had set up specific Medicare rebate arrangements for pharmacogenetic testing — genetic tests that show how a person's body processes particular medications.\n\n**Who is affected:** Patients, doctors, and pathology labs who were relying on the 2013 rules to claim Medicare benefits for these genetic tests.\n\n**Why it matters:** From 1 November 2014, the 2013 arrangements stop having effect. This removes the specific Medicare funding pathway for these tests that existed under the revoked determination."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/health-insurance-pharmacogenetic-testing-revocation-determination-2014","history":"/api/acts/health-insurance-pharmacogenetic-testing-revocation-determination-2014/history","analysis":"/api/acts/health-insurance-pharmacogenetic-testing-revocation-determination-2014/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/health-insurance-pharmacogenetic-testing-revocation-determination-2014/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/health-insurance-pharmacogenetic-testing-revocation-determination-2014/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/health-insurance-pharmacogenetic-testing-revocation-determination-2014/documents"}}
