Import Paid PRN to Claim
Overview
Manual Payment requests now require a rejected PRN before the request can be made to the NDIS.
To achieve a rejected PRN you will need to override Planability budget guardrails to submit a claim for intentional rejection.
You will then need to submit a Manual Payment Request in the NDIS Portal, and then when you receive a PRN for the payment you can import the approved PRN(s) into Planability.
This allows claims to be processed for payment to the Provider through the usual payment flow, and of course means that you also have a record in Planability of the claim and payment.
This feature is available to Directors and Plan Managers with elevated Claims permission. See Elevated Permissions
