Hello clients, authorized representatives, individual providers and caregivers,

PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THE WEBSITES INTO YOUR BROWSER

New changes for individual providers are underway, including how they are employed and paid. Consumer Direct Care Network Washington (CDWA) was selected to be the Consumer Directed Employer for individual providers. All individual providers must changeover to CDWA in 2021 and 2022.  

To learn more and prepare for this change, please join CDWA’s public webinars this month.

CDWA offers a range of topics for individual providers and clients to learn more about the upcoming changes. For example, individual providers will need to submit new documentation to CDWA. You are welcome to register for any of the webinars. Your questions will be answered and posted in the Resources section  (www.consumerdirectwa.com/resources/) of the CDWA website (www.consumerdirectwa.com) along with recordings of the CDWA webinars.
