Planability has been integrated with PACE API's and operating across both systems since April 2023. Agencies can seamlessly switch between the current PACE plan and previous Plans for participants.
Expiring Plans will start to progressively transition to PACE
What can you expect in Planability?
- PACE Plans will show the Plan ID as 'PACE'.
- Service Bookings are no longer required for PACE Plans and will show as 'Not Applicable'.
- There are changes to Support Categories and some Item Codes have moved into new Categories and some have been renamed.
- If a Plan Reassessment triggers a change to funding, the Plan start and end dates are adjusted. You will receive an automated email notification from Planability. The previous funding period and budget can be viewed in PACE, but currently is not shared outside of that environment by the NDIS. See Create a Claim on Historical Budget
- Plan Management Fees will be visible to you as Plan-Managed Choice and Control funding when a new PACE Plan is created, or when an existing PACE Plan is reassessed.
Creating and submitting claims for PACE Plans
There is no change to the Claim creation flow in Planability.
When adding or editing a Claim Line the Service Booking field will show 'Not Applicable' since PACE plans do not use Service Bookings.
Core funding is flexible, when you create a claim for a Core category funding will be drawn from available funding in Core regardless. As long as the category is included in the Plan, even with $0.00 funding you can claim for supports in that category, as long as there is available flexible funding in Core.
For Capital Support and Capacity Building Supports you will only be able to choose from categories where budget is allocated.
For PACE Participants the Budget vs Actual Report displays Approved Budget, along with any Service Agreement allocated amounts.
The Budget and Goals are accessed from the left menu.
