NYSDOH Required Cultural Competency Training - Deadline Extended to Dec. 31

Each year, the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) requires our Enhanced Care (Medicaid Managed Care) and Enhanced Care Plus (HARP) providers to certify completion of cultural competency training for all staff who have regular and substantial contact with EmblemHealth members. To satisfy this training requirement, providers’ staff must complete the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services e-learning program The Guide to Providing Effective Communication and Language Assistance Services and submit the certification (form is on our website). The deadline to submit the certification has been extended to Dec. 31.
