Sampling Determinations

Detailed information on the PSR scheme is published in the document Your Guide to the PSR Process

Section 106K(3) of the Health insurance Act 1973 enables the Minister to make a determination specifying the content and form of a sampling methodology that may used by a Committee for the purposes of section 106K(1). Application of such methodology enables a Committee to examine a sample of services and to extrapolate the proportion of inappropriate practice found in that sample to the entire class of services from which the examined sample was obtained.

For the current determination applicable from 20 January 2007 see:
