Handling Claims with Multiple Budget Allocations and Contributions

Handling Claims with Multiple Budget Allocations and Contributions

Scenario A. Multiple Budget Allocations (No Co-contribution)

QuestionAnswer
How does CareVision handle scenarios where Services Australia returns a claim split across multiple funding categories?CareVision accepts the total amount from the SAH Payment Statement Summary (Services Australia) and reconciles it against the original claim from the SAH Claim File (CareVision).

Even if the amount is split across different funding categories, CareVision recognizes that the total matches and marks it as no variance. The split amounts are then reflected in the Invoice and SAH Monthly Statement File.

Example
You deliver a service for 2 hours at $16.58 per hour, totalling $33.16 in the SAH Claim File (CareVision).
In the SAH Payment Statement Summary (Services Australia), the same  $33.16 is split into:
  1. Home Support Ongoing = $20.00
  2. Home Care Account = $13.16
  3. (No co-contribution applied)
How It Appears in the Claims Management Dashboard
After uploading the SAH Payment Statement Summary (Services Australia) to CareVision, the dashboard shows:
Reconciliation Status:
No variance



How It Appears in the Invoice
The $33.16 is split into two rows in the Invoice:
  1. 1.2063 hours x $16.58 = $20.00 (Home Support Ongoing)
  2. 0.7937 hours x $16.58 = $13.16 (Home Care Account)
Notes
Note: Calculated values in the Invoice may display up to 5 decimal places. These values are rounded up to 2 decimal places in the SAH Monthly Statement File.


Note: For Xero Invoices, the Quantity and Unit Amount columns reflect these allocated amounts.

How It Appears in the SAH Monthly Statement File
From the $33.16 total in the SAH Monthly Statement File:
  1. 1.2063 hours x $16.58 = $20.00 (Home Support Ongoing)
  2. 0.7937 hours x $16.58 = $13.16 (Home Care Account)

Scenario B. Multiple Budget Allocations (with Co-contribution)

QuestionAnswer
How does CareVision handle scenarios where Services Australia returns a claim split across multiple funding categories with co-contribution applied?CareVision accepts the total amount from the SAH Payment Statement Summary (Services Australia) and reconciles it against the original claim from the SAH Claim File (CareVision).

When co-contribution is applied, CareVision separates the government-funded portion and the participant contribution. If the total matches, the reconciliation status is marked as no variance. The split amounts are then reflected in the Invoice and SAH Monthly Statement File.

Example
You deliver a service for 6 hours at $23.31 per hour, totalling $139.86 in the SAH Claim File (CareVision).
In the SAH Payment Statement Summary (Services Australia), the same $139.86 is split into:
  1. Ongoing Support = $70.00
  2. Home Care = $69.86
  3. Co-contribution = $19.86
How It Appears in the Claims Management Dashboard
After uploading the SAH Payment Statement Summary (Services Australia) to CareVision, the dashboard shows:
Reconciliation Status:
No variance

How It Appears in the Invoice
The $139.86 is split into four rows in the Invoice:
  1. 2.5766 hours x $23.31 = $60.06 (Home Support Ongoing)
  2. 2.5714 hours x $23.31 = $59.94 (Home Care Account)
  3. 0.4264 hours x $23.31 = $9.94 (Home Support Ongoing - Co-contribution)
  4. 0.4256 hours x $23.31 = $9.92 (Home Care Account - Co-contribution)

How It Appears in the SAH Monthly Statement File
From the $139.86 total in the SAH Monthly Statement File:
3.0030 hours x $23.31 = $70.00 (Home Support Ongoing)
  • Govt Pay = $60.06
  • You Pay = $9.94
2.9970 hours x $23.31 = $69.86 (Home Care Account)
  • Govt Pay = $59.94
  • You Pay = $9.92

Scenario C. Multiple Budget Allocations (with Co-contribution and Variance)

QuestionAnswer
How does CareVision handle scenarios where Services Australia returns a claim split across multiple funding categories, but the total does not match the original claim?CareVision reconciles the returned amounts from the SAH Payment Statement Summary (Services Australia) against the original claim from the SAH Claim File (CareVision). If the returned total is lower than the claimed amount, the difference is recorded as a variance. The reconciliation can still be accepted, and CareVision uses the returned values to generate the Invoice and SAH Monthly Statement File. The unpaid difference is stored as a payment difference for tracking.

Example
You deliver a service for 6 hours at $23.31 per hour, totalling $139.86 in the SAH Claim File (CareVision).
In the SAH Payment Statement Summary (Services Australia), the returned amounts are:
  1. Home Support Ongoing = $60.00
  2. Home Care Account = $40.00
  3. Co-contribution = $10.00
  4. Variance = $39.86
How It Appears in the Claims Management Dashboard

  1. 2.3166 hours x $23.31 = $54.00 (Home Support Ongoing)
  2. 1.5444 hours x $23.31 = $36.00 (Home Care Account)
  3. 0.2574 hours x $23.31 = $6.00 (Home Support Ongoing - Co-contribution)
  4. 0.1716 hours x $23.31 = $4.00 (Home Care Account - Co-contribution)

How It Appears in the SAH Monthly Statement File
From the returned amounts in the SAH Monthly Statement File:
