Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose to be Plan Managed?
  • There is NO out of pocket cost to be plan managed as the cost associated is funded by the NDIA and funded from a separate budget line item (Improved Life Choices). This means the costs will NOT come from your support budget. 
  • Freedom to use any supplier even if they aren’t registered with the NDIA. You have the power to choose the best care and services to meet your needs. 
  • Seamless processing – suppliers can send invoices directly to a plan manager in order to make sure you’re not having to administer invoices or juggle paperwork.
