7 Decision that a person has ceased to be eligible

If notification has not been given under subsection 6(1), but the Chief Executive Medicare is satisfied that a participating person does not meet the eligibility criteria, the Chief Executive Medicare must decide, by determination in writing, that the person is not eligible to participate in this Scheme and the date on which the person ceased to be eligible.

Note 1: Item 3 of the Amendment Act provides that, until 1 July 2011, the Chief Executive Medicare cannot make a decision about ineligibility in respect of a person to whom that item applies.

Note 2: Section 15 of the Amendment Act provides that if the Chief Executive Medicare decides that a participating person is not eligible to participate in the scheme, he or she must give the person a signed notice that includes the reasons for the decision and advising that the person may apply to the Chief Executive Medicare for a review of the decision. The application for review of the decision is dealt with in section 24 of this Scheme.
