The Commonwealth Minister for Health and Ageing has released draft Private Health Insurance Rules (PHI Rules) for comment by 26 February 2007.

The PHI Rules will commence at the same time as the Private Health Insurance Act, which is expected to commence on 1 April 2007.

There are 13 subject headings of the draft PHI Rules with more to come.

The drafts include the Private Health Insurance (Complying Product) Rules which set out the form and content for a standard information
statement about a complying health insurance product which will be a new
requirement under the PHI Act.
