The Good

Service providers have the right to be paid on time and the Service Provider Portal goes a long way to making that happen. Instead of submitting a paper invoice, they complete the online form and are paid almost immediately.

The Bad

A paper invoice for the family is not required. The service portal will not accept an excel invoice which most Behaviour Consultants (BC) have used for their invoicing in the past. It may be tempting for a minority of service providers to not provide a separate invoice for their clients, leaving them out of the loop.

The Ugly

In my experience most service providers are completely honest and ethical however as with any group of people there are always a few disreputable characters. This new system allows fraud to occur at a much faster pace with the families unaware of what is happening until it is too late.

What Can You Do?

As a parent, you must monitor “My Family Services” to be aware of all billing as well as funds remaining. It is imperative that you monitor this and contact the AFU the minute you realize that fraudulent billing is taking place. You also need to be aware that the service provider may cancel or amend their invoice after the fact.
