Support at Home service list and payment assurance reports: what to check
On 24 September the Department published a Support at Home service list and two payment assurance reports. The list groups 49 services into 14 service types and 3 contribution categories and describes activities in and out of scope. The pricing review targeted 46 providers with apparently high prices; the rolling review examined selected claims and statements from 60 providers. These are selected-sample findings, not sector-wide failure rates or new service rules. A missing document alone does not establish that a service was not delivered, a price was not agreed or a claim was ineligible.
Document and workflow checks
Turn the official change into reviewable actions
- Check the current service item and its in-scope activities against the official list before changing a local schedule; confirm applicable workforce and professional requirements separately.
- Link the agreed service price, published price or reason for a difference, delivery evidence, claim unit and participant-facing statement in authorised provider records.
- Review statement fields, including supplier, service date, quantity and relevant funding balances, with a named correction owner; investigate gaps instead of treating them as proof of non-delivery or overcharging.

Team review question
Which service, price, claim or statement record needs a documented owner and follow-up?
Usage boundary
The reports describe selected reviews, not a compliance score for all providers. An evidence gap needs investigation; it does not alone prove non-delivery, lack of agreement or an ineligible claim. CaresLink does not audit, certify, calculate or submit claims and does not collect participant or finance records.
