Subject: Peer Support Employment Training Program Information for Implementing Provider Manual 9.2
Action: Please remember Peer/Recovery Support Specialist Recertification must be completed by July 1, 2013
Dear Providers,
As previously communicated, the policy implementation outlined in the ADHS/DBHS Provider Manual (PM) Section 9.2 states that all persons who previously have been trained and certified as peer/recovery support specialists in the state of Arizona must now become recertified by passing a competency exam by Monday, July 1, 2013. The test will also be used for persons previously certified who wish to re-enter the workforce at a later date, as well as those certified by agencies in other states. Please remember recertification is the responsibility of the individual and/or the provider.
To better assist our providers with the recertification process, Magellan would like to share a list of approved Peer Support Employment Training Programs for peer/recovery support specialists needing to become recertified:
