This closed training session is required for all CAE-contracted providers and focuses on aligning your team with the expectations outlined in your provider agreement.
Each month, we’ll walk through excerpts from your contract, clarify CAE’s role as your compliance partner, and guide you through how to carry out expectations such as documentation standards, communication protocols, and corrective action procedures.
Whether you’re new to the CAE network or need a refresher, this space ensures your agency stays aligned, informed, and fully supported.
Note: This session is not open to the general public and is intended only for agencies with an active CAE provider agreement.
