Bupa What is the Bupa Gap Scheme? Bupa Health's Gap Scheme ("Scheme") is intended to offer greater clarity and assurance to clients regarding the cost of inpatient care. It is important to note that if Bupa uses the system (a) it will directly compensate the supplier for a higher service than would normally be paid under the Medicare Benefits Plan ('MBS').

b ) It will rationalise the application and billing procedures for suppliers, clients and Bupa. What can the scheme be used for? As of August 1, 2018, Bupa will be applying the higher performance of the Scheme to registrated Scheme Providers where the Bupa Client has been referred to a licenced hospital or day clinic with which Bupa has an initial, network or fixed member fee arrangement.

Up to 100% of the MBS Schedule Fee (MBS) will be paid by Bupa and Medicare for non-Bupa MBS. A new scheme for medical gaps in public hospitals will come into effect on 1 August 2018. The tariffs and conditions for the new schema correspond to those of the schema currently in use.

Participants can use the scheme as follows: Make either a No Gap or Known Gap setting available for scheduled or pre-booked recordings. Under the new Public Hospital Gap Scheme, we consider a pre-booked admittance to be a case where the hospital conducts an E qualifying examination for Bupa at least 2 workingdays before the admission.

In the case of entitlements which are filed within the framework of the known loophole and for which no on-line authorisation verification is carried out, the payments are restricted to 100% MBS. In order to be entitled to insurance against known gaps, the physician must be enrolled in the Public Hospital Known Gap Scheme. In order to reduce the possible administration effort, Bupa will routinely enroll physicians who have claimed entitlements to public hospital care on the basis of their recent enrollment in the Private Scheme.

What does the scheme look like? Suppliers have the possibility to sign up at Bupa as either No Gap or Known Gap providers: None of the gap providers accepts the performance of the scheme as full pay for the entire/total treatment period, without the patients being billed for extra expenses out of their pockets.

Well-known gap providers fully acknowledge the benefits of the scheme, but may choose to bill the patients a total of $500 out of their pockets for the whole nursing period. The higher Scheme rate only applies to requirements which the supplier makes directly to Bupa in accordance with the conditions.

If you follow the schema: At Bupa, pension payments are made according to the respective benefit plan of the Medical Gap Scheme and depending on the customer's coverage ratio. The Bupa company will transfer the amount to be paid to your designated banking address or via the ECLIPSE system and will provide you with a statement if necessary.

If you do not use the schema: While Bupa is encouraging suppliers to use the scheme for all clients, Bupa values that there may be opportunities when a supplier decides not to agree to the scheme tariffs. In such cases, the provider must: bill the client directly. Bupa pays the client 25% of the MBS fee in these cases.
