Manually creating a non API Plan

Introduction

The Plan management module allows the Plan Manager to create client plans and generate invoices for services delivered in relation to the plan. In regards to the invoicing component of Plan Management, the basic purpose is to streamline and simplify the generation of invoices, making it easier for the organisation to manage provider invoicing, claim batch submissions through to the NDIS, uploading payment remittance and processing and settling provider payments.

 

These instructions are applicable only for those plan managers that do not have a registered and approved NDIS API Connection.

 

The Brevity Plan Management module is accessed by selecting the care management > plan management sub menu.

 

 

 

 

Within Brevity, we provide the Plan Manager with two ways to establish your participants Plan Management records, and they include selecting either the Add New Record icon or the import service bookings link, of which both options are accessible from the ribbon bar that is located in the Plan Management Plan List page.
