99B  Price for home care
  For the purposes of step 1 of the shortfall amount calculator in subsection 48‑13(1) of the Act, the price for the home care provided during a payment period to a care recipient by an approved provider is worked out as follows.

      Calculator for price for home care
           Step 1. Work out the total amount of the prices that the approved provider charged for the care and services provided to the care recipient during the payment period.
           Step 2. Work out the total amount of the prices (if any) that the approved provider charged for the matters mentioned in paragraphs 19B(1)(b) and (d) of the User Rights Principles 2014 (certain travel and package management) in respect of the care recipient in the payment period.
           Step 3. Add the total amounts worked out under steps 1 and 2.
           Step 4. Subtract the available home care fees amount for the care recipient in respect of the payment period from the total amount worked out under step 3. If the result is negative, the amount is taken to be nil.
      The result (including a nil amount) is the price for the home care provided during the payment period to the care recipient by the approved provider.
Note: For the care and services that an approved provider may provide, see the Quality of Care Principles 2014 (Part 3 and Schedule 3).
