Pricing - Self Managed
When you are assigned your Home Care Package Services Australia will have asked you to undertake a means assessment, this is conducted by the Department. They will advise you if you must pay an income tested fee.
We charge 12% Package Management fee and 3% Care Management fee.
Our Care Management and Package Management Services are designed to help you get the best care and the most out of your Home Care Package.
The difference is in the services we can provide you and the fees you are charged.
Care Management is a fixed daily charge which covers the cost of supporting you in managing your services. This includes:
• Coordinating and scheduling services
• Regular care plan reviews
• Updating documentation
• Periodic reviewing of services to make sure care is safe and appropriate
Package Management is a fixed daily charge which covers the cost of providing a package of care and services. This includes:
• Compliance and quality assurance activities
• Managing the financial aspects of your package, such as paying invoices
Management fees: Like all providers, Amicis breaks down our fees into Care Management and Package Management. When the cost of these two services is added up, this is what you will be charged.
