Health Insurance Act 1973

Where an amount is purportedly paid by way of benefit or payment under this Act in respect of a diagnostic imaging service in circumstances where, under section 16C, no benefit was payable because rendering the service involved a contravention of a law of a State or Territory relating directly or indirectly to the use of diagnostic imaging procedures or diagnostic imaging equipment, the amount is recoverable as a debt due to the Commonwealth from the person who contravened the law of the State or Territory.
