Multi-Certificate FlexiCourses
The four FlexiCourses listed below feature multiple certificates in each course. Why? Each of these FlexiCourses have multiple modules or chapters - and each chapter earns a separate certificate. For example, FlexiCourse 10A earns 10 Credit Hours, reflected in 4 separate certificates (two 1 hour certificates, a 3 hour certificate, and a 5 hour certificate).
You can earn all the certificates associated with a course right now - or you can take up to a year to claim one or more of the certificates. (How to do that? Just don't take the quiz for a module until you want to claim the certificate.) The FlexiCourses are described below - just click and read.

[5 CREDIT HOURS in 3 CERTIFICATES] Provides a clear view of HOW the MCOs make those CARE MANAGEMENT treatment decisions, and how you can deal with it. Working with your clients' insurance companies (particularly those whose business is based upon CARE MANAGEMENT, or UTILIZATION REVIEW) requires a significant SHIFT in how we APPRAISE client's NEED FOR TREATMENT, and in your TREATMENT APPROACH. Applies to both Mental Health and Chemical Dependency (Addiction) Treatment Providers. New program approaches. New ways to document treatment. How to successfully play 'Mother May I?' with the Health Plan contractor. How to be maximally EFFECTIVE and avoid much frustration, through PROFESSIONAL and CLINICAL changes in PROGRAM DESIGN and TREATMENT APPROACH.
NOTE: Don't need 5 Credit Hours? You will find some of this information in FlexiCourse 4A (minus the more-clinical info). Bite-sized portions of this course are also found in MiniCourses 1B, 1C, and 3A. And you'll find all three of the Course 5A modules in our big FlexiCourse 10A. Why do we do this? Because one size doesn't fit all!
