NDIS PLAN MANAGEMENT

Caring for Carers Australia (CCA) are the NDIS plan management specialists. Under the NDIS, a plan manager pays your providers for you, helps you keep track of funds and takes care of financial reporting for you.

The fee for plan management, if approved, is included in your NDIS plan. 

Our Plan Management Service is second to none and we give you 6 reasons why choosing Caring for Carers, or CCA as we  call ourselves, is in your best interest. 

1.  We Care. 

For us this is absolutely the most important reason. We care  about the participant, we care about the Carer and we care about your  family. We just care. We are always at the end of the phone if you need a  chat or have a query.  A lot of Carers like the fact that most of us  have lived experiences of being a Carer. If we cannot answer the  question for you we will point you in the right direction.

2. We place a high priority on payment of invoices. 

We  understand that the prompt payment of invoices is integral in keeping  the services moving for the participant. Our innovative technology  ensures your providers are not charging over the NDIS price guide. We  liaise directly with your Support Coordinators to ensure payments are  made for services and products to arrive when you need them.

3. Your approval is our highest priority

We  will always ask you for your approval prior to paying an invoice, if  you don't approve an invoice then it will not get paid. We will also be  the point of contact for conflict resolution, if you are not satisfied  with a service we will contact the provider on your behalf.

4.  Monthly statements 

Each month we will send you a detailed  statement of how much you have spent, which service providers you have  paid and how much funding is remaining.

We monitor  your funding each month to check how your funding is tracking. We also  have a specialised team who can help with budgeting or recommend  therapies and services that would be beneficial for you.

5.  Face to face meetings

We like to meet you face to face - if this is  not possible we will use Facetime, Zoom or a similar app so you know who  we are and we know who you are.

We like the  personalized service of putting a face to the name AND you will have the  same plan manager for the duration of your plan. 

6.  We will assist you with your Annual plan review 

With over 3 1/2 years  experience helping Carers and participants access the NDIS, I am sure  you will benefit greatly from our NDIS Review service.

We  hear from a lot of carers that their NDIS plan did not cover the  support or get enough funding that some participants desperately needed.  We help you to put your best foot forward.

It  would be such an honour to share your NDIS journey with you, so please  contact us on the detals below and and we will get back to you  as soon as we can.

We  can't wait to meet you and get to know you all. Until we do, follow us  on our facebook page so you can stay up to date with what’s happening at  CCA.  I hope your week brings you something very special, have a  wonderful day.

Self Managed, Plan Managed and NDIA Managed:

There are three ways to manage your NDIS funding – Self-managed, Plan Managed and NDIA managed. We provide our service to those that choose Plan Managed. Below is a explanation of Plan Management.

Plan management is funded in your plan and allows you to:

• have choice and control over the providers you use;
• use NDIS registered providers;
• use non-registered providers (although your Plan Manager must be a registered provider);
• negotiate pricing to pay less than the NDIS price guide;
• make value for money decisions in line with your plan;
• view your plan on the MyPlace portal to keep track of your budget.

Role of the Plan Manager

If you choose to be plan-managed, a Plan Manager is funded in your plan and must be an NDIS registered provider.

They claim directly from the budgets in your plan to pay your providers on your behalf.

If you choose to use a Plan Manager, they will:

• pay your providers for the supports you purchase;
• help you keep track of your funds;
• take care of financial reporting for you;
• depending on your circumstances, they can also help you choose your providers.

Caring for Carers are plan management specialists. We provide our plan management in every state and territory across Australia. It would be an honour to manage your NDIS plan. Contact us for an obligation free discussion.
