Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This short legal instrument cancels (revokes) the Health Insurance (RET Gene Testing) Determination 2014.

Who it affects: Patients who need RET gene testing (a genetic blood test used to identify certain inherited health risks) and the doctors or pathologists who provide it.

Why it matters: As of 1 July 2015, the 2014 rules no longer apply. This changes how Medicare rebates (government subsidies that reduce the cost of medical tests) work for this specific genetic test. Patients and providers will need to follow whatever rules replaced the 2014 Determination, or the general pathology billing arrangements, instead.
