HSC Style Question:

The Australian federal government is considering implementing a new system for doctor’s patients to claim their Medicare rebates for doctors who do not bulk bill their patients.

The existing system works in the following way:

• a patient goes to their doctor for a consultation

• the patient receives an account (bill) from their doctor

• the patient pays the doctor’s account and receives a receipt

• the patient takes (or posts) their receipt to a Medicare office

• the receipt is processed by the Medicare office

• the patient receives a rebate (partial re-imbursement) from Medicare.

The new system would amend the current system so that the doctor’s surgery would be connected via a Wide Area Network to the Medicare office and as a result the processing of the account would occur at the surgery directly following the payment of the account. Patients would receive their rebate by direct deposit from Medicare into their bank account immediately after the account has been paid.

(a) Describe THREE specific issues that should be considered when assessing the feasibility of the new system.
