When setting up an account with MyCare you will be charged on a monthly basis.
The license fees are calculated on the number of your Clients/Employees – the size of your business. 
We also offer start-up packages to ensure all users can afford the software costs.
When starting up a new service the fees for the first 3 month are charged and thereafter monthly. One month notice will be required to cancel the license agreement.
Licence fees adjustments will be done on the basis on the number of Clients/Employees and adjusted — see our price list for more details.

MyCare can be cancelled anytime giving one month notice.

A separate contract needs to be setup with LanternPay to connect to the NDIA APIs.
 
In response to the strain on providers and participants in dealing with NDIA claims, the NDIA has been working with software aggregators, like LanternPay (part of HICAPS, a NAB company), to enable digital connectivity between the NDIA data and systems and software vendors like us with the end goal to synchronise data, automate transaction processing, streamline administration, and ultimately improve the NDIS experience for both providers and participants. 

MyCare is connecting via LanternPay Registered NDIA Providers to take full advantage of the functionality enabled by the NDIA’s Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to access data and streamline claiming against NDIA managed participants.
