Income Generation Audit (IGA) forms for overseas visitors should be sent to Leeds Primary Care Trust, the agency acting on behalf of the Department of Health. This enables the financial side of reciprocal and international agreements to be supported. It also helps to monitor the treatment of overseas visitors and associated levels of expenditure.
Where the transmission of Commissioning Data Sets identifies reciprocal agreement overseas PATIENTS by the use of TDH00 in the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER), the Secondary Uses Service will send the ACTIVITY to the Health Care Provider's host commissioner to pay and copy it to Leeds Primary Care Trust - alleviating the need to send a separate Income Generation Audit form.
The OVERSEAS VISITOR STATUS may change while the PATIENT is being treated. All such changes should be recorded so that charges for treatment can be revised accordingly.
