CommBank’s Smart Health Solution for the NDIS (Australia)

Commbank

“Commonwealth Bank (CBA) today announced a partnership with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to build a new claims at point of support channel for the National Disability and Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Leveraging the latest CommBank Smart Health technology, the new claims at ‘point of support’ (C-POS) channel aims to enable participants, and as appropriate their families and careers to make NDIS claims quickly, accessibly and securely. The new C-POS channel will be developed to improve the payment process, including by alleviating the need for participants to pay upfront using their own funds, while also reducing administrative burdens for providers. This new channel will not replace the way providers and participants make claims, but will be in addition to current claims channels.”
