13 Approval of treatment already provided
(1) The Commission may approve the provision of treatment for a person that was provided, or that began to be provided, without the prior approval of the Commission if: (a) the person is an eligible person; and (b) the Commission is satisfied that it would be proper for the Commission to approve provision of the treatment after it had been provided or had begun to be provided. (2) However, the Commission must not approve the provision of treatment that was provided more than 3 months before the person made a claim under section 8 that he or she is an eligible person. (3) The Commission is taken to have arranged for the provision of treatment approved under this section. (4) If the person for whom the treatment was provided has paid for the provision of treatment approved under this section, the Commonwealth may reimburse the person for the amount paid.
