COLUMBIA COUNTY

FULL-SERVICE MEDICAID TRAINING WEBINARS

Dear Provider,

As you know, McGuinness is now the Medicaid claiming agent for Columbia County beginning with service dates of September 1, 2025.

In an effort to share the 2025-26 upcoming expectations and requirements we have scheduled a series of webinar trainings that will take place in from May through August 2025. We will host two presentations (same content) for each topic (only one session is required).

There is a lot of information that we need to share with you, if you cannot attend due to scheduling conflicts, the webinars will be recorded. Please consider registering for each webinar even if you cannot attend. All registrants will receive the following information after each presentation (directly to the email that was used to register for the webinar):

The Recording of the webinar,
The PowerPoint Presentation,
Any Questions/Answers from the webinar, and
A list of Knowledge Base Links related to the webinar topics in each presentation.
All the webinars will be posted to the Portal Knowledge Base for future reference following each scheduled webinar.
