Health Insurance (Amendment) Act 2007

In short

This law, the Health Insurance (Amendment) Act 2007, modifies the existing Health Insurance Act 1994. It primarily adjusts how health insurance schemes apply to undertakings and how payments due under these schemes can be recovered.

What it regulates

  • The application of health insurance schemes to registered undertakings and those that have ceased to be registered.
  • The compliance of undertakings with the terms and conditions of health insurance schemes.
  • The recovery of payments due by an undertaking to the Authority under a scheme.
  • The repeal of a specific section (section 12B) of the Principal Act.

Who it concerns

  • Registered undertakings in the health insurance sector.
  • Undertakings that were previously registered but have ceased to be so.

Key points

  • A health insurance scheme applies to each registered undertaking and each undertaking that was registered at any time the scheme was in force.
  • Each such undertaking must comply with the scheme's terms and conditions.
  • Payments owed by an undertaking to the Authority under a scheme can be recovered as a simple contract debt in court.
  • Section 12B of the Principal Act is repealed.
