Plan Management
If you have chosen to be plan-managed, you will have funding for Improved Life Choices in your NDIS Plan.
Plan Management gives you the option of being supported by both NDIS registered and non-registered providers. Because of this flexibility you have greater choice and control over your support needs
As your Plan Manager, Taylor Made Outcomes will:
- Use your plans funding to pay for the supports you purchase,
- Assist you to keep track of your funds,
- If required help to link you in with supports,
- Give you access to our client dash board and for real time tracking of your plan budget and spending.
- Send you a monthly budget report. (see below for an example of what we provide)
As published on the NDIS website, while Plan Managers are not to determine whether supports or services purchased are ‘reasonable and necessary’, they may also be liable to repay any amounts which have not been spent in accordance with an NDIS Plan.
Taylor Made Outcomes may seek additional information / evidence prior to processing a claim against an NDIS Plan to ensure compliance with how the plan was built.
This practice ensures avoidance of any financial risk for us as a business, and reduces potential for participants to be asked to repay funding.
Costs
As your plan manager Taylor Made Outcomes will charge your NDIS Plan a monthly administration fee and if your plan is new, a one off set up fee. This funding is located within your Improved Life Choices budget and will be sufficient to cover all Plan Management costs.
