Consultations are now open on the $5,000 allied health services threshold
The Government released a discussion paper that says:
Most vulnerable veterans will be exempt from the changes – they will not have their treatment reviewed
the review that will replace the 12-session treatment cycle will be less onerous and affect fewer veterans
a veteran's GP remains responsible for their care and treatment plan
treatment will continue while any review is underway - DVA will pay the bills, and no veteran will be asked to repay any fees
reviews will be conducted by DVA's clinical staff, not administrative or compliance staff
veterans will see in real-time what providers have billed to their Veteran Card.
The Government is open to making other improvements suggested in consultations to be held in September and October.
