 (9) Where the Commission determines, in writing, the amount of the cost of, and incidental to, treatment provided under this Part for the patient during a specified period in respect of a disease, disability or condition in relation to which a notice has been served on the patient under subsection (2), the Commission may serve a notice on the patient containing a copy of that determination, or notices on the patient and the relevant person containing copies of that determination, and, if it does so, a copy so served is, for all purposes, prima facie evidence:
 (a) that the copy of that determination set out in the notice is a true copy of the determination of which it purports to be a copy;
 (b) that that determination was duly made by the Commission; and
 (c) that the amount specified in the determination is the amount that the patient is liable, by force of subsection (2), to pay to the Commonwealth as the cost of and incidental to the treatment provided for the patient under this Part during the period so specified for and in relation to that disease, disability or condition.
 (10) Service of a notice, or notices, under subsection (9) on a patient, or on a patient and the relevant person, in relation to the cost of the treatment provided by the Commission under this Part does not prevent the making of a further determination, and the service by the Commission of a further notice, or of further notices, under that subsection on the patient, or on the patient and the relevant person, in relation to the cost of other treatment provided by the Commission for the patient under this Part.

 (12) The reference in subsection (3) to a person (not being the patient) shall be read as including a reference to an insurer who, under a contract of insurance, is liable to indemnify the person liable to pay compensation to, or for the benefit of, the patient against that liability.
