IT IS recommended that you update the existing client funding profile with the particulars of the NEW pricelist.

Interpreting the difference between creating a new or updating an existing funding period. Creating a new funding period for the participant, would occur if you wish to continue to invoice for services using the old pricelist until expiry of the funding period. On the other hand updating an existing funding period to the new pricelist will enable you to invoice services using the revised pricelist charge rates.

Where multiple funding records exist for the participant, Brevity will determine the applicable funding record from where the funds will be drawn by aligning the service delivery date with the funding start and end dates.
