Collection and Usage Attributes
The health insurance fund abbreviation is used for reporting purposes where size limitations exist e.g. pre-printed forms.

Health insurance fund abbreviations are either assigned nationally by the Commonwealth, or, assigned by Finance Branch, and are based on funds identified in the public hospital system in Queensland.

Note that a patient with private health insurance may not necessarily have hospital cover and therefore not have cover for their hospital accommodation, prostheses, and medical expenses.
The Revenue Strategy and Support Unit (RSSU) utilise health insurance fund information for the purpose of optimising health fund revenue.
