Update to Virtual Wallet
Our website will be changing in September with a fresh design and a new route into our PPL direct payment portal, which includes Virtual Wallet. Further information is available here.
Virtual Wallet supports NHS organisations and local authorities to deliver personal health budgets, direct payments, Individual Service Funds (ISFs) and one-off payments and grants, to take your organisation to the next level.
The funding organisation makes one simple payment into the Virtual Wallet central fund and budgets are then allocated to individuals. The individual is then able to choose, book and buy care, support and products to meet their specific needs. Virtual Wallet then automatically processes payments to the providers and personal assistants.
Virtual Wallet also enables robust financial monitoring and complete transparency on budget spend for all parties. It also enables individuals to continue to have choice and control over their care and support, without the hassle of having to make payments themselves or send in receipts.
Our team would be happy to have a quick chat to explain more and discuss the options.
