39. Former contractors

If a PSS contract is terminated or expires, this Scheme, other than section 26 and section 32, applies to the parties to that PSS contract for the purposes of adjusting or reconciling amounts paid on behalf of an eligible member as if:

(a) references to a ‘contractor’ were references to a ‘former contractor’; and

(b) the member on whose behalf the subsidy is to be paid or repaid, or in respect of whom an application must be made under sections 31 or 32, continued to have a contract of insurance providing medical indemnity cover with the contracted insurer in the same terms as when the PSS contract was in force.
