Consumer Directed Employer Webinars

Hello Clients, Authorized Representatives, Individual Providers and Caregivers,

New changes for Individual Providers are coming soon. These changes include how IPs are employed and how IPs are paid. Consumer Direct Care Network Washington was selected by DSHS to become the Consumer Directed Employer of all IPs. Preparation for the changeover is underway and a pilot group will begin transitioning to CDWA in September.  To learn more and prepare for this change, please join the webinars CDWA is hosting this month.

Four different webinars are offered this August. Interested persons are welcome to register for any of the webinars that apply to them.

Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions during the webinars. Questions will be answered and posted in the Resource section of the CDWA website, along with recordings of the CDWA webinars.

The changeover to the CDE starts with a small pilot group of clients and IPs in September. Remaining clients and IPs will changeover in two phases later in 2021 and into 2022. IPs will need to submit new documentation to CDWA during the CDE changeover. CDWA will be the employer of all IPs by early 2022. 

Please join the CDWA information sessions to learn how you can be ready for a successful changeover to the CDE!
