Our products are rented and sold principally to hospitals,
extended care facilities and directly to patients. Payment is
received from various public and third party payors, including
government-funded programmes.
At present, the professional service components associated with
V.A.C.® Therapy are covered under existing MBS items but
the actual equipment costs (device rental and consumable sales) are
not currently supported by any government funded arrangement. Some
Private Health Funds partially reimburse V.A.C.® Therapy
on a case by case basis. V.A.C.® Therapy is reimbursed
on the DVA Rehabilitation Appliances Program Schedule for eligible
veterans.
Currently in Australia for Wound Care Surfaces Products, some
Private Health Funds and third party payors give partial
reimbursement on a case-by-case basis.
The company is actively pursuing further reimbursement; this
information will be updated as developments occur.
If you have any questions regarding reimbursement, please send
and e-mail to postmasterAU@kci-medical.com
