Description
Recommended for Supported Employment Providers that submit Supported Employment Authorization Requests in Carelon.
In this session, we will be talking about the nuts and bolts of request submission. This is NOT a technical training as those are provided by Carelon; however, this training will discuss what forms and fields mean, how they relate to supported employment eligibility and policy, and how they impact request approval. This session will also discuss the current workarounds being utilized to submit requests and the changes that will be permanent effective September 1, 2025.
