The Flexible Payment System operates within the same broad framework as the Central Payments System, with the same qualifying periods and maximum annual payment rates applying.
It assists doctors who meet the same broad requirements of the Program, but whose eligibility under the Central Payments Scheme has been significantly affected by limitations relating to the use of Medicare data as an indicator of continuous service and workload.
State-salaried doctors in Retention Categories C, D and E will also be considered if they are predominately providing primary care services. However, payments to state-salaried doctors will be reduced by the annual amount of any gratuity that is paid by a State Government.
Applications for payments under the Flexible Payments System will be assessed by RWAV.
The Flexible Payments System is not designed to assist doctors in ineligible locations who consider there is a case for their location to be included in the Program.
If you wish to apply for a payment under the Flexible Payments System contact RWAV on (03) 9349 7800 for an application form. |
