Unlock the Benefits of Plan Management
Ready to maximise your choice and control? Say hello to the benefits of NDIS plan management.
Plan Management is a service designed to assist NDIS participants with managing the financial aspects of an NDIS plan. There are numerous benefits to having a plan manager as part of your support team including greater flexibility, control, and improved outcomes.
#1 Financial Flexibility
Plan management ensures that NDIS participants have the flexibility to choose and pay for the services and supports that best meet their needs. By partnering with a plan manager (like us!), participants can gain greater control over their budgets, allowing them to allocate funds according to their unique requirements. This flexibility can enable participants to access a broader range of services, therapies, or equipment that might not have been initially considered.
#2 Easy Administration
Navigating the financial side of NDIS plans can be a daunting task for many participants. However, with plan management, participants have access to plan management support for processing invoices, paying service providers, and managing all the necessary paperwork on their behalf. This can relieve participants from administrative burden, allowing them to focus on achieving their goals and leading a fulfilling life.
#3 Expanded Provider Choice
Plan management offers a broader network of service providers that participants can access as part of their support team. Unlike agency managed plans, where participants can only choose from NDIS registered providers, plan management allows participants to engage with both registered and non-registered providers. This can provide participants with more options to find the most suitable support services. Having an expanded provider choice, gives participants the freedom to select providers based on expertise, proximity, or personal preferences, resulting in more personalised and effective supports.
#4 Support Coordination
Sometimes, NDIS participants require the assistance of a support coordinator to help navigate the complexities of the NDIS and connect them with suitable services. Although plan managers provide financial management support to participants, they also work closely with other members of the participant’s support team, including their support coordinator. By collaborating with support coordinators, plan managers can help support participants are to make informed financial decision in line with their goals, support needs and plan funding.
#5 Transparent Financial Tracking
One of the advantages of plan management is the provision of regular and detailed financial reports to participants. This transparency allows participants to keep track of their budgets, expenses, and services rendered. Participants can remain informed about the financial status of their plan, ensuring there are no surprises or unused funds at the end of the plan period. Having the option to track their plan funding can help participants to make informed decisions regarding their services, providing a sense of control and accountability.
Plan management can play a crucial role in supporting NDIS participants to exercise greater control over their supports, budgets, and service providers. By providing financial flexibility, simplifying administration, expanding provider choices, integrating support coordination, and ensuring transparency, plan management can enhance the overall NDIS experience for individuals with disabilities. As the NDIS evolves, embracing the benefits of plan management is becoming an increasingly valuable option for participants seeking greater choice, control, and improved outcomes.
