How is Home Care Package Funding Managed in Maica?

In Maica, Funding for Aged Care Participants with Home Care Package Funding is managed through a Quick Action located on the Participants Service Agreement. This Quick Action is the Manage Budget tool and is further explained in more detail here.

Essentially, within the Manage Budget Quick Action you will manage all your Home Care Package Funding, however it is important to note that once a Budget has been created, Maica will generate a Funding Record for your Participant with the relevant data.

This Funding Record will sit on your Participants Contact Record, and whilst is not useful in managing your Participants Funding, it will provide a handy overview of the Budget information.
