Plan-Managed to Provider: Your Onboarding Checklist to Avoid Rejected Claims

The key to a smooth start with a new provider lies in preparation. Before you even contact a potential support worker or therapist, confirm two critical details with your plan manager.

First, ensure your plan management arrangement is active and your plan manager has your current plan details. Second, check your funding category limits. Look at your NDIS plan to see exactly how much funding you have in categories like 'Core - Assistance with Daily Life' or 'Capacity Building - Improved Daily Living'. This tells you and your provider what services can be claimed.

With this knowledge, you can confidently search for providers. Use the MyCareFinders directory to find registered or unregistered providers in your area. Look for service types that match your goals and check their profiles for information about their onboarding process. A provider with clear intake information is often a good sign of an organised business.
