1  After subsection 10ACA(7)
Insert:
 (7A) Despite subsections (2) and (7), if the current claim is for a service specified in an item determined under section 10B to be an item to which this subsection applies, the increase under this section in the benefit payable in respect of the claim cannot exceed the amount determined under section 10B as the maximum increase for that item.
Note: This subsection does not limit the increase payable in respect of a claim for a service specified in an item not determined under section 10B to be an item to which this subsection applies.
 (7B) If:
 (a) for the purposes of the pathology services table:
 (i) 2 or more pathology services are treated as a single pathology service; and
 (ii) the fee for the single service is the fee specified in one or more particular items in the table; and
 (b) one or more of those particular items (the limited increase items) are items determined under section 10B to be items to which subsection (7A) of this section applies;
then, for the purposes of that subsection, the single service is taken to be specified in the limited increase item or, if there are 2 or more limited increase items, in the one of those items for which the maximum increase determined under section 10B is the greatest.
Note: Section 4B lets regulations provide for a rule of interpretation of the pathology services table to treat 2 or more pathology services as a single pathology service.
