3 Single payer Federal Government Funded from tax revenue Fixed rebate for each service In office or (private) hospital Self assessed with audit All residents eligible Grants to States to run public hospitals
4 Universally supported Restrains medical costs but not services Subsidised medical training $60K for 6 year undergraduate course Zero real interest, non-recourse loan
5 Family physician (<20 min) $36 Internist (<45 min) $130 Obstetric ultrasound $100 CT abdo/pelvis + contrast $410 Bone scan with SPECT $600 PET Scan $950 MIBI stress/rest $1000
6 New items added in ad-hoc fashion Items for service not indication Some attempts to encourage technological improvement Echo only paid for colour Doppler machine Additional $100 for SPECT

15 1990 no MRI, no PET rebates Overuse of existing technology (CT)
16 No Medicare Rebate A few machines installed private fees MS Society raised money for MRIs Government relented (mid 1990s)
17 Rebate for licenced machines ordered or installed at commencement date extra licences based on need Steep increase in orders for MRI machines month before announcement
18 Limit referrers Limit indications Limit number of scans rebated (not ordered) Obstetrics BMD MRI Risk transferred to imaging practice
19 Limited indications (sort of) sciatica derangement of shoulder, knee Limited referrers (specialists only) Limited number of scans/year Recently relaxed for <17 year olds replace CTs and bone scans
