Common billing scenarios

Provider notes
- Capital supports are one-off or infrequent purchases rather than ongoing services. Make sure you have the required assessments and approvals before purchasing or delivering items. Capital funding cannot be moved to other budget categories.
- When billing under this code, make sure the support delivered matches the description in the NDIS Support Catalogue. Mismatched codes are a common audit finding. Keep records of the date, time, duration, and nature of each support session.
