✨ Health Care Contribution Notices
NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 94
23 JUNE 2005
Under new section 152 of the Act, the Director-General of Health is required to notify the maximum contribution that applies in each region.
The maximum contribution is the maximum weekly amount (inclusive of G.S.T.) that a resident assessed as requiring care may be required to pay for contracted care services provided to them in the region in which their rest home or continuing care hospital is located.
Contracted care services are services provided to needs assessed people in a rest home or continuing care hospital that has a contract with a DHB.
The services are those provided and paid for in accordance with the agreement between the DHB and the residential care provider.
The agreement specifies that its coverage is up to a maximum number of subsidised residents for the facility.
The agreement covers:
- residents who are eligible for the residential care subsidy (as determined through a financial means assessment under section 141 of the Act); and
- means assessed persons (under section 140) who have funding paid on their behalf (the top up subsidy) to cover the difference between the maximum contribution and the cost of contracted care services provided to them.
The maximum contribution is the same for all residents regardless of the type of contracted care services they receive – rest home, dementia, continuing or specialist hospital care.
The maximum contribution set by this New Zealand Gazette notice applies from 1 July 2005.
It is equivalent to the most recent, nationally agreed rest home contract price applying to residential care facilities in each Territorial Local Authority region.
The maximum contribution is set at $636.00 per week (G.S.T. inclusive) for any region where the rest home contract price is lower than $636.00.
The maximum contribution will change only when a new maximum contribution is gazetted.
New maximum contributions will reflect changes to rest home contract prices that usually result from the annual review of the residential care contract between DHBs and providers.
