Dear INZ OIAs,
Please provide missing documents
1. INZ 1378 medical assesor guidelines
2. ASH conditions even if they are noted on medical exam.
3. Single point failure guideline
4. Multipoint failure guideline
5. In documents I read wording “chronic conditions cost over the predictive course of condition” chronic conditions like diabetes or Hypertension require medication to be taken life long so when costing is calculated, how the life of applicant is predicted to calculate the cost over predictive course? It is not clear from documents given on what basis or how HAT team decide on life of applicant to calculate cost for chronic conditions?
6. Is there any list of medication costing to suggest monthly cost for medication?
Yours sincerely,
Gunjan
