How are services under SHB selected and who determines the SPR?
The types of services, reimbursement rates for the SHB and MRF benefits, and the SPR are set by the Minister of Health following an annual review to ensure healthcare market sustainability, inclusion of feedback from stakeholders, affordability of services, and diversity of benefits that can support the health of individuals. Actuarial Reports provide a summary of part of this review process; they can be viewed here.
