Collection and Usage Attributes
Health insurance fund codes are assigned by Finance Branch, and are based on funds identified in the Queensland public hospital system.

Record a description of the health insurance fund (i.e. name or other identifying information) when the patient has hospital level insurance and the Health insurance fund code is 888 (Other).

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.
Queensland Hospital Admitted Patient Data Collection (QHAPDC):
Can be null.
Should not be null where Health insurance fund code is 888 (Other).
Hospital Based Corporate Information System (HBCIS):
Health insurance fund code should be recorded irrespective of whether the patient is admitted as a public or private patient or whether the patient intends to use the insurance for their admission.

When the code for 'Other health fund' is chosen, the "Please Specify" field becomes mandatory to enter free text. Any health insurance fund identified through the use of code "other" will provide the opportunity to add new codes to the health insurance fund reference file in future versions.
The Revenue Strategy and Support Unit utilise health insurance fund information for the purpose of optimising health fund revenue.
