Claim with the full number exactly as shown. The support category (Assistance with Daily Life (includes SIL)) decides which part of the participant's plan pays for it — Core supports, so a service booked against the wrong category can be rejected even when the price is right.
Claiming this item
- The limit is a maximum. Agree the price in the service agreement; you can charge less, never more, for NDIA-managed and plan-managed participants.
- It is priced per hour: claim the time actually delivered (for example 1.5 hours = 1.5 units), at the rate for the time band the support falls in.
- Use the remote or very remote limit only when the support is delivered in an MM 6 or MM 7 area (or a town the schedule reclassifies) — it's the place of delivery that counts.
- Cancellations, travel, telehealth and reports have their own item numbers (CA, NF, PT, RR, TH) — use those rather than claiming them against 01_720_0118_1_3.
