The MASS Prescriber Procedures Manual outlines how frequently applicants can re-apply. Each of the types of aids and equipment has differing re-application periods.
It is expected that mobility and daily living aids will last five years. However, if the applicant’s needs significantly change e.g. deterioration of applicant’s condition or growth of a child, applications may be considered earlier.
Most types of continence aids are provided as a six month subsidy supply. To allow time for administrative processing, ensure the applicant’s re-application is forwarded to MASS one month prior to the subsidy supply renewal date.
Oxygen clients are advised of their oxygen approval and expiry dates. For MASS to continue payment of the oxygen subsidy, ensure MASS receives the re-application before the end of the expiry period.
It is expected that spectacles supplied through the Spectacle Supply Scheme will last two years. However, if the applicant's eyesight significantly changes, applications may be considered earlier.
