Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument cancels a previous Medicare rule about genetic testing for drug responses.

In plain terms: It scraps the Health Insurance (Pharmacogenetic Testing) Determination 2013 (No.1). 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.

Who is affected: Patients, doctors, and pathology labs who were relying on the 2013 rules to claim Medicare benefits for these genetic tests.

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.
