Announcement

REMINDER: Wellness Education Benefit Case Manager Trainings


The Wellness Education Benefit (WEB) will be educational materials mailed monthly to Children’s Home and Community-Based Service (CHCBS) waiver members. The WEB is defined as individualized educational materials designed to prevent hospitalization or movement into an institutional setting. The WEB helps members in obtaining, processing, and understanding information that assists with managing health-related issues, promoting community living, and achieving goals identified in their person-centered service plans. The WEB also provides members with actionable tools and information for informed decision-making and preparation for conversations with medical and social service professionals.


This benefit will be available to members in May 2024. Information surrounding the WEB will be important for case managers so they can assist in discussing the benefits of the WEB with waiver members. The WEB is an important service for members and may support continued waiver eligibility. 


These mandatory CHCBS case manager trainings will be held on:


  • April 2, 2024 - 1 to 2 p.m.


  • April 4, 2024 - 10 to 11 a.m.


  • April 10, 2024 - 2 to 3 p.m.


CHCBS case managers only need to attend one of these training sessions.


All meetings will use the same Zoom link and phone information.
