Stoma Appliance Scheme claiming for associations

The Stoma Appliance Scheme (SAS) provides free stoma appliances and products to people with a stoma.

An association needs registration through the Department of Health and Aged Cared before it can claim for products supplied to members.

You can read more about the Stoma Appliance Scheme eligibility on the Department of Health and Aged Care website.

Claim a SAS reimbursement

You can claim a reimbursement for products you’ve supplied to your members under the SAS.

To claim, upload your electronic claim file through Health Professional Online Services (HPOS).

You need a Provider Digital Access (PRODA) account to access HPOS. If you don’t have one, register for an Individual account.

You’ll also need to register your association as an organisation in PRODA and link HPOS to the account.

1. Log in to PRODA to access HPOS.
2. Go to My programs.
3. Select Stoma Appliance Scheme and ParaQuad Program.
4. Select Choose File.
5. Select Send.

You no longer need to send us copies of the claim paperwork or patient forms. You need to keep the record for 2 years.

For any questions about a SAS claim, you can contact the PBS Complex Drugs Programs enquiry line.

Reason codes

After we’ve processed your claim, you’ll get a Reconciliation Statement through HPOS messages. To get statements electronically, you need to subscribe to statements, notifications and payment information in HPOS.
