Metal-backed patellae – Prescribed List post-listing review

We reviewed the comparative clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of metal-backed patellae (MBP) in the Prescribed List (PL). We asked if there is evidence to justify MBP having a higher benefit amount than all-polyethylene patellae (APP).

Prescribed List

Private health insurers are required to pay benefits for the products listed on the Prescribed List – previously known as the Prostheses List. Find out what the Prescribed List includes, when we update it, and how to apply to list products on the Prescribed List or change current listings.
