Section 7F of the Health Insurance Act 1994, as amended, sets out the detailed rules that apply to the Health Insurance Authority in assessing whether an insurer, that is a net recipient from the Risk Equalisation Fund, has been overcompensated by the Risk Equalisation Fund.
No insurer has been assessed by the Health Insurance Authority as being overcompensated since the legislation was enacted in 2009.
