2-Day Workshop (Austin, Tx)- “Provider Care Coordination” (HCS/TxHmL Programs) @ Private Providers Association Of Texas
May 15 @ 9:30 am – May 16 @ 4:00 pm

“Provider Care Coordination”
 (HCS/TxHmL Programs)

Twogether Consulting is pleased to invite you to our live 2-day workshop training session open to all HCS/TxHmL providers   We will be presenting this training session at Private Providers of Texas (PPAT) Office” in Austin, Texas

All HCS/TxHmL Providers now have the chance for Case Managers, Program Managers, Nurses and/or QA staff to get a chance to attend our much more comprehensive versions of the training, as opposed to via short webinars.   So please contact us as soon as possible if you are interested in having any of your staff attend. Whether you are brand new to the program, need a refresher, or have just never received much-needed training, we hope this course will be extremely helpful to providers. We will provide certificates of completion of the course for your employee training records. 

We will address both nursing and case management/care coordination staff specifically concerning things the provider will need to serve the individual at both enrollment and for continued follow-up once an individual is enrolled or transferred into the program.  This will include a discussion of provider responsibilities vs. LIDDA (Local Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities Authority) such as implementing and monitoring  services of the individuals in the program and documentation of those services as well as ways to ensure both waiver and non-waiver services are being received. We will discuss what the provider “does” vs. the LIDDA during the enrollment and transfer process. In addition, we will review some of the more important information the provider and care coordinator will need to know to prepare for the current survey process.
