Private health insurance claims on medical device pricing debunked
12 September 2017 - Today the Medical Technology Association of Australia has released a PwC analysis of the impact of potential price changes to medical devices on the Prostheses List.
This analysis shows a difference between public and private pricing of medical devices of $305.7 million. This is considerably less than the entirely misleading fake claim of $800 million made by the taxpayer subsidised private health insurance industry.
It shows there is a total differential of 15.3% between public pricing and private pricing of medical devices.
