Frequently Asked Questions
Plan Management is one of the ways that your NDIS funds are managed. It is basically a financial intermediary that manages and handle all payments for services that the participant receives. This removes the administrative burden from the participant or their support network. With this arrangement, generally once the participant receives a service from a service provider, the service provider will send an invoice or bill to the Plan Manager for the service they just delivered. The Plan Manager, using their access to the participant’s NDIS funding, will claim the relevant funds from the NDIS Portal and pay the service provider accordingly. A Plan Manager will also send monthly statements to the participant which contains a summary of expenditure and a breakdown of budget totals remaining.
There are distinct advantages with engaging with a Plan Manager:
- You don’t have to use the NDIS Portal, which can be complicated and takes some time to become familiar with.
- You have the choice, control and flexibility without the administrative burden of handling the payments themselves.
- You have a professional behind you that you can ask questions of and that can guide you through your journey.
The new Plan Manager becomes responsible for the ongoing management of your plan, including any payments for services that occurred during the current NDIS plan.
No, a Plan Manager can only submit claims for supports and services after they have been provided. Services generally cannot be prepaid, unless it is a special circumstance that has been approved by NDIA.
