Contract Novation allows you to change the provider of a contract without having to close the contract down.
Before carrying out a contract novation, please be aware of the following points:
Contract
Novation will carry over all FP17 activity, contracted UDA/UOA/Courses
of Treatment (COT) and monetary values, including any outstanding
debt, from the date the change of ownership takes effect.
The monthly payment will be made to the bank account of whichever provider owns the contract on the payment processing date.
Contract novation cannot be done retrospectively.
