Last updated
A Service Agreement is the financial construct under which a Participant receives services. This includes the ability to set up funding structures compliant with the NDIS, Aged Care and other funding arrangements such as HCP and CHSP. Service Agreement's capture information such as Support Items, Price Lists as well as key dates during which the Service Agreement is valid. The purpose of Service Agreements is to ensure that services are not delivered without verified funding.
A quick and efficient way to create a Service Agreement is directly through a Participant Record. Within a Participant Record, simply navigate to the Budget Management tab, scroll down to the Service Agreements, and click New. As shown below:
Service Agreements are a one-to-many record within Maica, meaning, that each Participant can have many Service Agreements active at any given time.
Once you have clicked the New button, you will be presented with a pop-up to begin populating the Basic Details of your Service Agreement record. At this stage you should fill in all mandatory and recommended fields before clicking Save to create your Service Agreement record.
Service Agreements are mainly populated through Quick Actions within the Agreement that become available once your record has been created and saved. These Quick Actions are dependent on the selected Funding Type.
