Support Coordination Item Code Architecture at EYC
Grounding Summary
EYC's billing structure for Support Coordination and related services centres on four primary item codes covering Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 (Specialist), and Psychosocial Recovery Coaching. Travel time (labour) is billed under the same code as the support itself, not under a separate travel code. Non-labour travel costs (kilometres, parking, tolls) require distinct codes — either from Category 07 or Category 01 — and were absent from EYC's iinsight setup prior to the rebuild. The strategic choice between Cat 07 and Cat 01 non-labour travel codes is a key lever for preserving participant Capacity Building budgets.
Detail
The Four Primary SC/PRC Codes at EYC
EYC uses four item codes as the foundation of its Support Coordination and PRC billing:
07_002_0106_8_3— Level 2 Coordination of Supports (R106). Rate: $100.14/hr. Used for face-to-face meetings, non-face-to-face tasks, report writing, and cancellations. 2 clear business days cancellation rule.07_004_0132_8_3— Level 3 Specialist Support Coordination (R132). Rate: $190.54/hr. Requires separate registration. 2 clear business days cancellation rule.07_001_0106_8_3— Level 1 Support Connection (R106). Rate not specified in source. 7-day cancellation rule.07_101_0106_6_3— Psychosocial Recovery Coaching (R106, Outcome 6). Rate: $105.43/hr. Direct support. 7-day cancellation rule.
Travel Time Billing (Labour Costs)
When coordinators travel to a face-to-face meeting, the labour time is billed under the same item code as the support itself — not under a separate travel code. The claim type TRAN is applied to distinguish travel time entries in the Bulk File Upload. Caps apply:
- Metro areas (MMM1-3): up to 30 minutes travel time billable.
- Regional areas (MMM4-5): up to 60 minutes billable.
For Level 2 SC: 07_002_0106_8_3 at $100.14, claim type TRAN.
For Level 3 SC: 07_004_0132_8_3 at $190.54, claim type TRAN.
Non-Labour Travel Costs — The Gap Identified
EYC's iinsight system was configured only for labour travel time. It did not capture non-labour costs (kilometres at $1.00/km, parking, tolls). The specific codes absent from the system:
07_799_0106_6_3— Level 2 SC/PRC non-labour travel (Cat 07). Rate: $1.00/unit.07_799_0132_8_3— Level 3 SC non-labour travel (Cat 07). Rate: $1.00/unit.01_799_0106_1_1— Level 2 SC/PRC non-labour travel (Core bypass, Cat 01). Rate: $1.00/unit.01_799_0132_1_1— Level 3 SC non-labour travel (Core bypass, Cat 01). Rate: $1.00/unit.
The Internal Placeholder Code
00_000_0000_0_0 is an internal iinsight system placeholder used for tracking non-billable administrative instances (e.g. duplicate kilometre cases, logging cancellation records without submitting a fee claim). This code does not exist in the NDIS Support Catalogue — it is iinsight-internal only.
