From the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services
A change is coming in how Individual Providers are employed and how IPs are paid. Consumer Direct Care Network Washington (CDWA) is the Consumer Directed Employer (CDE) vendor selected by DSHS. The changeover to the CDE will begin in Summer 2021. Please join one of the upcoming webinars to learn more about the CDE.
There will be four webinars in April. When logging in to the webinar, participants will be asked to register with name and email address. Participants are welcome to register for as many webinars as apply to them.
