Physiotherapists must ensure they are familiar with, and fully adhere to, the professional Code of Conduct produced by the Physiotherapy Board of Australia. A breach of the Code of Conduct may result in action taken by the health profession regulator.
The improper use of HICAPS may be considered health fund fraud and a breach of the Code of Conduct, and could lead to legal consequences. Always process the correct patient after each treatment and do not use other family member’s names when charging.
