# Care plans and service agreements

> Track care management time and activities for Support at Home participants in Visualcare

Under Support at Home (SAH), care management is tracked separately from other services. The government caps care management fees at 10% of the participant's total ongoing budget. This article covers how care management works in Visualcare and what your team needs to know.

## Care management overview

* Care management fees are capped at 10% of the participant's ongoing quarterly budget (excluding short-term supports)
* The Care Management Pool (CMP) is quarantined for care coordination activities
* Care Partners deliver and record care management activities
* Tracking is available at both the individual participant and organisation level

## Recording care management time

Use the **Add Time** feature to log care management activities against a participant. Any notes added through this feature also appear under the **Notes** tab in the participant's profile.

<Note>Care management logging is currently participant-specific to meet compliance and claiming requirements. A centralised view is available for oversight, but bulk entry across multiple participants simultaneously is not supported at this time.</Note>

## Things to consider

* Start guiding your Care Partners on new processes for tracking time and taking notes during care management activities
* Care management claims are submitted separately, detailing the activity hours and applicable rates
* Visualcare facilitates logging, claiming, and tracking against the pooled care management amount at both participant and organisation levels
