How the plan is managed: agency-managed participants must use registered providers at or below the limit; self- and plan-managed may use unregistered providers
Registered or unregistered provider?
Agency-managed participants must use NDIS-registered providers. Registered providers are audited against the Practice Standards and must observe price limits.
Self-managed and plan-managed participants can engage unregistered providers, which widens choice; price limits still apply to plan-managed funds.
