All invoices must include the following information:

  • invoices should be on letter headed paper which includes the address, telephone number and email address of the provider location
  • invoice date
  • invoice number (your unique reference for the invoice)
  • contract reference number (this will start with “FSL” for supported living providers in most instances and “FHS” for home support providers)
  • service user reference number (this begins with a “6” or “0”)
  • full name of the service user
  • full address of the service user
  • dates of the service provided (from and to) – in line with the payment schedules
  • details of the service provided – hours/days etc (this is service provided not scheduled, for example, a missed call must not be charged for)
  • grand total of the invoice

If you do not include all of the above information, we will return your invoice to you and ask for the missing information. This could delay payment.
