Date Entry > Home Care > Aged Care Options
This area allows for the setting of the Aged Care Specific global parameters for Auto Fund Generation. These items are separated into two types: Charges and Payments.
Charges, these will be shown as expenses on the Patients statement and budgets and will reduce the balance in the Plan. These would typically be used as a Case management fee or admin Fee that your agency is billing the plan. They may be set by a Dollar value or a percentage of the funding. They are not mutually exclusive.
Payments: Are seen as income to the plan. A Patient may be required to pay in a Basic Daily Fee. This is only set as a Daily dollar value.
These are global values set for the agency but may be overridden at a patient level if their plan has been negotiated at a different value.
Date Entry > Home Care > NDIS Support/Care options
The NDIA publishes a list of All the Support/Care options that your agency may claim against. The important Care Support Number is critical in the upload of the payment file to the NDIA.
What this section allows you to do is select only the Options that your agency provides. This ensures that when selecting the options specific to a patient, it is a smaller list and only the options that you provide. The default is set to No as in your agency does not supply that support option.
