Victoria将在2026-2027年结束向WorkSafe和TAC直接开出有关欺诈问题的外科医生账单, Victoria will end direct surgeon billing to WorkSafe and TAC by 2026–2027 over fraud concerns, replacing it with hospital-wide payments to curb false claims.

维多利亚州外科医生在涉及数百万人虚假索赔的欺诈指控之后,从2026年和2027年开始,不能再直接向WorkSafe或TAC就公立医院程序提出账单。 Surgeons in Victoria can no longer directly bill WorkSafe or the TAC for public hospital procedures, starting in 2026 and 2027, after fraud allegations involving millions in false claims. 由于对未经进行的手术和过高费用的调查, 医院将通过一次性支付取代直接的账单, The change replaces direct billing with a single payment to hospitals to reduce incentives for inflated or fraudulent claims, following investigations into surgeries never performed and excessive fees. 虽然保险公司说资金和护理质量将得以保持,但一些外科医生警告说,这种转变可能会将专家推到私立医院,导致公共服务成本降低。 While insurers say funding and care quality will be maintained, some surgeons warn the shift may push specialists to private hospitals and lead to cost-cutting in public services.
