What is an NDIS Plan Manager?
The most basic definition of plan management calls it a ‘financial intermediary’ support. This means that all plan managers are a connection between an NDIS participant, the providers and the NDIA.
Plan management is about having a third party to communicate with your service providers and pay invoices on your behalf, keep track of your funds and the financial reporting for you. The Plan Manager then claims directly from the budgets in your plan to pay your providers on your behalf.
If you choose to be plan-managed, a Plan Manager is funded in your plan and must be an NDIS registered provider, which United Disability Care is. Ask to use a registered plan management provider at your planning meeting.
