The role of an NDIS Plan Manager is to basically assist you in managing your NDIS funding and provider invoicing. While you have the option to manage your plan yourself, a Plan Manager is often favoured by those looking to make the process as simple as possible.
A Plan Manager takes over the responsibility of submitting claims and paying your supports, allowing you to relax and utilise the services provided. If you do make the decision to be plan-managed, it’s essential to understand that your plan funds the Plan Manager.
A Plan Manager will complete the following tasks on your behalf:
- Assist you in monitoring your funds
- Complete your financial reporting
- Reimburse your providers for the supports you buy
- Assist you in determining what is ‘reasonable and necessary’
