What is the difference between self managed, plan managed, and NDIA managed?

  • Self managed: You handle everything yourself β€” choosing providers, paying invoices, and keeping financial records.
  • Plan-managed: A plan manager takes care of the financial and admin tasks, while you maintain choice and control.
  • NDIA-managed (agency managed): The NDIA pays providers directly, but you can only use registered providers.

Each option offers different levels of flexibility, control, and responsibility.
