Temporary COVID-19 pathways for adult CPAP and Bi-level extended to 30 June 2022
Due to ongoing disruption to clinical services, the temporary COVID-19 Adult CPAP and Bi-level pathways have been extended to 30 June 2022. This means for Adult CPAP and bilevel equipment, prescribers may use either the temporary COVID 19 or standard pathways to apply for equipment.
We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation. If there are any further changes, they will be made available on this page.
Please note, the standard Adult and Paediatric Funding Criteria for CPAP, bilevel and continuous ventilation equipment were recently updated and available now.
