Private Health Insurance Act 2007

If:

the *PHIIB mentioned in subsection 22‑15(1) was insured under a *complying health insurance policy (the original policy) (whether or not the policy mentioned in section 22‑1) at a time before the start of the premium period mentioned in that section; and

the PHIIB was not a *dependent person at that time; and

at that time, another person (the entitling person) was:

insured under the original policy; and

aged 65 years or over; and

the entitling person subsequently ceased to be insured under the original policy;

the entitling person were also insured under that policy; and

the entitling person were the same age as the age at which he or she ceased to be insured under the original policy.

Subsection (1) ceases to apply if a person (other than a *dependent person) who was not insured under the original policy at the time the entitling person ceased to be insured under it becomes insured under the *complying health insurance policy mentioned in section 22‑1.

Subsection (1) does not apply if its application would result in the *PHIIB’s *share of the PHII benefit being less than it would otherwise have been.
