Introduction

The HCP fees and supplements are set by the Department of Health and Aged Care and determined by the HCP Level. HCP fees which include care and package management are levied against all HCP funding profiles either as a percentage or fixed daily rate.

HCP supplements listed within the Breakdown record grid confirm with the information released by the Federal Department of Health and Aged Care.

HCP supplements are a fixed daily rate aligned per HCP package level and are applied to the clients HCP Funding Profile during registration for those who have been assessed as having an entitlement.

The maintenance of HCP fees and supplements are managed through the Breakdown record grid within the Funding Source profile. There is only a single maintenance event associated with these records and this only extends to updating existing records.

Any additional supplements that are introduced would have there implementation managed by Brevity.

For details on the daily supplement rates specific with the individual HCP Levels, refer to additional information.

Note

For a HCP provider there should be no reason to establish new HCP Funding sources. The only activities undertaken would be in regards to adjusting the particulars of subsidies and fees.

It is not recommended to assign $values into the standard payment, default percentage or default amount as these values will be applied by default to HCP funding profile, regardless of whether the HCP client has or hasn’t an entitlement. It is therefore recommended that supplement values be applied when the HCP Funding profile is being registered.

For Care and Plan Management fees, apply a value either as a % or fixed $ value based upon the latest guidance from the Department of Health and Aged Care.
