We’re making changes to how the EU100 cost code is used
The EU100 service code is for assessment and rehabilitation providers for the reimbursement of rehabilitation equipment purchased for a kiritaki (client) that is not on the MRES equipment lists and is under $100 per item (excluding GST and freight).
From 1 April 2025, use of this code will be limited to providers who hold the following contracts:
- Communication and Assistive technology Assessment and Training Service
- Education Based Rehabilitation Assessment
- Home and Community Support Services (Both Return to Independence and Maximum Independence)
- Housing Modification Assessment service
- ICPMSK
- Social Rehabilitation Needs Assessment
- Support Needs Assessment
- Spinal Injury Vocational Services
- Training for Independence (all kinds)
- Traumatic Brain Injury Residential Rehabilitation Services
- Wheelchair and Seating Assessment Services
- Vocational Rehabilitation Services
Providers will need to submit their invoice electronically
When submitting an invoice, you must reference the contract number which they’re supporting the kiritaki under. For example, TIAT1234 if it is for a kiritaki under a Training for Independence Service contract. Ensure that any equipment recommended or ordered is still necessary and appropriate for the injury related need, and the receipt for the item is attached.
Any invoices for EU100 from vendors who are not listed as holding one of the contracts above will be declined, as will any manual invoices.
Providers not currently working under one of the contracts above (for example under the Cost of Treatment Regulations or the Allied Health Services contract) will need to either:
- seek funding for the equipment by submitting an ACC7428, where it meets the criteria for Orthotics
- claim under GPEQ4 (Short-term Equipment locally sourced via GP/physio) at a maximum cost of $26.67 (ex GST) per item (maximum five items within five weeks per claim). Providers should NOT use this code to fund equipment, orthotics (such as braces or pressure bandages), or consumables that are otherwise included in their service costs (e.g., dressings, strapping tapes, creams etc).
