Client Onboarding
The Sensible Care Client Portal is a dedicated workspace designed to give you full visibility and control over your care plan, budget, invoices, payments, and care team — all from one secure location.
Plan Managed vs Self Managed Clients
Overview
Clients can belong to one of two management categories within the platform:
- Plan Managed
- Self Managed
Each category determines how the client accesses budgets, invoices, reimbursements, and payment-related functionalities.
Plan Managed Clients
Description
Plan Managed clients follow the standard plan-managed workflow configured within the platform.
Access & Features
Plan Managed clients can access:
- Budget information
- Care team details
- Portal settings
- Standard payment-related workflows (based on configured permissions)
Invoice & Payment Visibility
Plan Managed clients are not able to directly view reimbursement invoices and payment details within the client portal.
This is because invoice handling and payment processing are managed externally through the assigned Plan Manager workflow.
Self Managed Clients
Description
Self Managed clients handle their own reimbursements and invoice management directly.
Access & Features
Self Managed clients have access to:
- Reimbursement invoice viewing
- Payment tracking
- Invoice submission workflows
- Budget and portal access (based on permissions)
How a Client Becomes Self Managed
In the current implementation:
Enabling Client Reimbursements from the Admin Portal automatically converts the client into a Self Managed client.
Key Difference
| Feature | Plan Managed | Self Managed |
|---|---|---|
| Budget Access | Yes | Yes |
| Care Team Access | Yes | Yes |
| Settings Access | Yes | Yes |
| Invoice Access | No | Yes |
| Payment Visibility | Not Available | Available |
| Client Reimbursements Enabled | No | Yes |
| Invoice Handling | Managed by Plan Manager | Managed by Client |
Important Note
If a client is marked as Plan Managed, they will not be able to view invoices or related payment details in the portal.
To allow invoice and reimbursement access, the client must be configured as Self Managed by enabling Client Reimbursements from the Admin Portal.
