219  Amount of person‑centred subsidy
  The amount of person‑centred subsidy a registered provider is eligible for under subsection 218(1) for an ongoing or short‑term funded aged care service delivered to an individual through the service group home modifications on a day is worked out as follows:

      Method statement
           Step 1. Work out the following:

                (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;
                (b) if the subsidy basis for the service is cost—the cost.

           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.
           Step 3. Work out:

                (a) the available balance of the individual's unspent Commonwealth portion held by the provider (if any) on the day in accordance with section 226A, taking into account any amounts already debited from that portion in accordance with that section on that day; and
                (b) the available balance of the individual's home care account (if any) on the day in accordance with section 226E, taking into account any claims already debited from that account in accordance with that section on that day; and
                (c) the available balance of the individual's notional home modifications account on the day in accordance with section 220, taking into account any claims already debited from that account in accordance with that section on that day.

           Step 4. Reduce (but not below zero) the provisional subsidy amount by the available balance of the individual's unspent Commonwealth portion held by the provider (if any).
           Step 5. If the amount worked out under Step 4 is not zero, reduce the amount by any amount (the excess amount) by which the amount exceeds the available balance of the individual's home care account (if any).
           Step 6. Reduce the excess amount by any amount by which the excess amount exceeds the available balance of the individual's notional assistive technology account.
           Step 7. Work out the sum of:

                (a) the amount worked out under Step 5; and
                (b) the amount worked out under Step 6; and
                (c) any secondary person‑centred supplements for the classification type ongoing or short‑term for the service group home modifications that apply to the individual for the day.
      The result is the amount of subsidy payable to the registered provider for the individual for the service for the day.
