MSAC is consulting on an application received from Health Technology Analysts Pty Limited.
The proposed investigative technology under evaluation in this document is Vibration Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE™), a non-invasive diagnostic tool that assesses the extent of liver fibrosis.
The RACGP response is broadly supportive of the technology, however, does not currently support the proposed fee for general practitioners, which is less for the same descriptor for specialists.
