2. What are the criteria for inclusion in this MTSL?
The MTSL comprises implants that are evaluated to be safe, clinically effective, and cost-effective in treating the identified clinical indications. HSA registration is a pre-requisite for implants to be considered for listing under the MTSL.
3. Who is eligible?
Only subsidised patients may receive subsidies for the implant if they fulfil the clinical criteria for subsidy eligibility as stipulated in the MTSL. The amount of subsidies will be based on their citizenship and means-test status, under the prevailing subsidy frameworks in PHIs.
4. Are patients allowed to use implants not listed in the MTSL?
Yes, patients may use implants that are not listed in the MTSL, though this is generally not encouraged. However, the use of non-listed implants will not be accorded subsidies and patients can expect to pay more. Patients may approach their public healthcare provider to explore subsidised options listed on the MTSL.
