219 Amount of person‑centred subsidy
The amount of person‑centred subsidy a registered provider is eligible for under subsection 218(1) for a short‑term funded aged care service delivered to an individual through the service group home modifications on a day is worked out as follows:
(a) if the subsidy basis for the service is efficient price or unit price—multiply the price charged by the provider to the individual for an hour or unit of the service (whichever is applicable) by the number of hours or units of the service delivered to the individual on the day;
Step 2. Reduce the amount worked out under Step 1 by the sum of any reduction amounts for the classification type for the service group that apply to the individual. This is the provisional subsidy amount.
(b) any secondary person‑centred supplements for the classification type short‑term for the service group home modifications that apply to the individual for the day.
The result is the amount of subsidy for which the registered provider is eligible for the individual for the service for the day.
