22  Simplified outline
  The following is a simplified outline of this Part:

         • This Part sets up a framework for the issuing of vouchers in relation to a dental service to persons who qualify for a voucher.
         • A person qualifies for a voucher for a calendar year if the person is aged under 18 years at any time during the calendar year, is an eligible person and satisfies the means test.
         • The Dental Benefit Rules may also provide that an eligible person qualifies for a voucher for a calendar year.
         • The Chief Executive Medicare must issue a voucher to a person if the person qualifies for the voucher on or before 31 October in a calendar year.
         • A person who qualifies for a voucher may request the Chief Executive Medicare to issue the voucher.
         • Unless the Dental Benefit Rules provide otherwise:
             (a) only one voucher may be issued in relation to a dental service in respect of a person for a calendar year; and
             (b) a voucher for a calendar year remains in effect until the end of the calendar year.
