Respite Care

If you have never had to try and claim this count yourself lucky.

It seems that the standard form signed by "support carer" aka the duty manager of a very professionally run city council school holiday program at a council owned venue accompanied by the itemised booking invoice and an eftpos receipt is not acceptable. Even when the GST number is on the claim form along with all the contact details.

I guess it is back up to the Sports Centre to try and get an "acceptable" receipt preferable signed by the same duty manager that signed the form.

When was the last time you got a computer printed receipt that was signed?
Not even the doctor routinely does that any more.

I wouldn't be bothering if it wasn't a couple of hundred dollars worth of care that the Ministry of Health wasn't going to be paying out on.

Update:
Here is the real irony.

Another claim for care (different dates) from the same organisation lodged at the same time with the same type of eftpos reciept and invoice has been paid out.

Get your act together Ministry of Health!
