Understanding NDIS Plan Management
What is NDIS Plan Management?
NDIS Plan Management is a service that helps NDIS participants manage the financial and administrative aspects of their NDIS funding. It involves handling the day-to-day tasks of paying providers, keeping track of expenses, and ensuring that funds are used effectively.
Types of Plan Management
There are three main types of plan management under the NDIS:
- Agency Managed: The NDIA manages the participant’s funds and pays providers directly. Participants have limited choice of providers, as only NDIS-registered providers can be used.
- Self-Managed: Participants manage their own funds, giving them full control over how and where they spend their NDIS budget. This option requires a high level of financial and administrative responsibility.
- Plan Managed: A Plan Manager, like Sky Plan Management, assists with the financial management of NDIS funds. This option offers participants the flexibility of self-management without the administrative burden.
Why Choose Plan Management?
Choosing professional plan management with Sky Plan Management offers numerous benefits:
- Reduced Administrative Burden: Participants don’t have to worry about processing invoices, managing payments, or handling complex NDIS paperwork.
- Financial Oversight: Professional plan managers ensure funds are used effectively and in accordance with NDIS guidelines, preventing overspending and fraud.
- Access to a Broader Range of Providers: Participants can choose from both NDIS-registered and non-registered providers, giving them greater flexibility and control over their support services.
