5 Common NDIS Payments Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

 Let's look at five frequent NDIS blunders and how to avoid them, as well as ideas to make the NDIS payments process more automated. When it comes to invoicing and processing NDIS payments, it's easy to make a mistake. There's a lot to double-check before submitting your bills, from support item reference numbers to understanding whether goods demand GST.

However, filing your NDIS invoices correctly the first time will ensure that you are paid not only for the services you offer but also that you are paid fast and effectively. As a result, your income flow will improve substantially, and your workload will drop, as well as your stress levels.

 

●      To think that your foundations are accountable

Even if you have been with your service provider for years or decades, every time you receive a new NDIS plan management and want to continue receiving support, you will need to contact them to make a service agreement.

 

●      Do nothing if you believe the NDIS decision is wrong

So the NDIS has decided something like eligibility or funding and you think it is wrong? Time to talk! Everyone makes mistakes, including NDIA so if you feel something is wrong, you should contact NDIA.

 

●      Assuming you can't get out of the service agreement

Many people think that if you have a service agreement, you are bound by that contract until the next update of your plan. In fact, for most registered NDIS service providers you only need to give two weeks' notice to cancel the service agreement.

This is especially helpful if you want to shop or decide if you want to go somewhere. Having service agreements with a short notice period means you can always get support and keep more selections and controls.

 

●      You are not preparing a system update

Even if you are already close to the NDIS block, you still need to make some adjustments to update your system. If you are not sure where to start, we have developed a System Review Tool that gives you everything you need to do well. prepare so you don't get caught.

 

●      Not telling people about your intentions

Tell people around you what your goals are. If you keep quiet about your goals, people will not know what you want to achieve and will not be able to help you. If you know what your goals are, you should tell the following people:

 

NDIS

This is absurd. The NDIS needs to know what your goals are so that it can ensure that you have the right funding to make it happen.

 

●      Your service providers

It may be important to tell your service providers what your goals are. If they do not know what your goals are, they will not be able to help you get there. We have always found that when people are open about their goals, we can think smartly to help them achieve them.

 

●      Your friends

As a service provider, you must tell your friends, family, and informal support. The more people in your group, the better!

 

●      Do not spend your NDIS money

There is a lot of NDIS money that has never been used. Are you crazy right? There are many reasons why people do not use their NDIS funding, and it is often beyond the control of participants. But sometimes, it becomes a matter of not understanding the system, not knowing where the funding is available, or just being completely overwhelmed. It is sad to see people not using their funding because they do not understand the system. Help is available, whether this is by speaking to the Support Coordinator (if you have one) or by calling your service provider or LAC.
