To help increase accessibility to training, Highmark Wholecare has placed previous FWA trainings on our website. As a reminder, all providers must have a representative review the Provider FWA Training upon contracting with Highmark Wholecare and annually each year after. The provider representative will be responsible for communicating the information obtained from the Provider FWA Training to the entire staff of the provider. Providers must either attend the annual Provider FWA Training or independently review the required materials and may need to submit proof of training completion when requested by Highmark Wholecare.
