WA Cares Basics: What Providers Need to Know webinar from 11 a.m. — noon on August 5
Before benefits begin in July 2026, the WA Cares Fund will work to register a diverse range of qualified providers for each covered service. To ensure quality care, providers must meet minimum qualifications to participate. Once registered, beneficiaries can choose from these providers — empowering them to select the services that best meet their needs within their own communities.
We will cover:
- How the program works.
- Types of providers that will be able to register.
- Minimum qualifications and requirements providers will have to meet.
- How to register as a qualified provider.
All webinars will include an opportunity for audience Q&A. Live captioning and ASL interpretation will be available.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the webinar.
