What it does not settle on its own
- Whether your exact clinical presentation satisfies the PMB descriptor.
- Which designated service provider or network rules apply to your option.
- Whether pre-authorisation, referral or clinical motivation is required.
- The provider's current charge, the scheme tariff, or your final out-of-pocket amount.
- How an individual dispute will be decided.
Questions to ask your scheme
- Does my diagnosis meet this DTP descriptor for PMB purposes?
- What treatment and public-sector protocol are you applying?
- Which DSP or network provider should I use, and when may I use another provider?
- What authorisation, referral, motivation or supporting records do you need?
- Please confirm the funding decision and any member payment in writing.
Plan the care and cost side separately
The DTP describes minimum PMB treatment; it is not a provider quote. For planned care, ask the provider what will be billed and ask your scheme how it will fund the exact service, codes, facility and providers involved.
