Penrith sits within a metropolitan service area, while providers also cover outer Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains. Longer travel between visits makes provider travel a practical billing concern. Your billing process needs to distinguish the support delivered from the travel recorded, with enough detail to check what belongs on the claim.
Penrith is classed MMM 1, a metropolitan area, under the Modified Monash Model. A long drive should prompt a travel billing check; it should not become a reason to assume remote pricing applies. Keep the service location visible alongside the visit record so the relevant billing checks can be made.
For example, a provider scheduling visits in Penrith and the Blue Mountains could review travel entries alongside the completed supports before preparing its billing batch. That gives the finance team a clear point to resolve missing information.
Our NDIS billing and claims service brings those checks into the wider claims, invoicing and reconciliation cycle.
