FAQs: Claims and how the NDIS works with providers and industry services.
Here at Leap in! HQ, we get asked a wide range of questions about the NDIS, including how the scheme works with other government and industry programs and funding. Below are some of the questions we get asked regularly (and also some that are a little more unusual)… Can I use my NDIS funds to pay the gap for Medicare or private health services? You cannot use your NDIS funds to pay the gap for Medicare services provided by the health system or for private health care costs including any fee gaps. Your NDIS Plan should cover the full costs of any ‘reasonable and necessary’ supports, so there should be no additional costs or gaps. When making a claim for a support, you should use either a health fund (private or Medicare) or your NDIS Plan. If my GP has created a mental health care plan, do I have to use the 10 free Medicare psychologist sessions before I can access my NDIS-funded supports to see a psychologist? No. If your NDIS Plan includes supports such as a psychology services, the cost of these are covered. Can I get NDIS funding if I have a Transport Accident Commission (TAC) or Motor Accidents Compensation
