### 3. Application
(1) Clause 2 of this Schedule applies to a patient who on or after the day on which the Private Health Insurance (Benefit Requirements) Amendment Rules 2007 (No. 4) commence:
(a) returns to hospital for hospital treatment at a hospital not later than 7 days after receiving hospital treatment at that hospital or another hospital; or
(b) is otherwise admitted to a hospital for hospital treatment at the hospital.
(2) If subclause (1) does not apply to a patient, the definition of 'nursing‑home type patient' in these Rules before the commencement of the Private Health Insurance (Benefit Requirements) Amendment Rules 2007 (No. 4) continues to apply to that patient.
Note: Clause 4 deals with nursing‑home type patients whose care needs change to requiring acute care.
