A 6-Point Compliance Checklist for California Healthcare Employers
California doesn’t “approve” Community Health Worker (CHW) training programs. Instead, the burden of proof falls entirely on your organization to attest that your team meets Medi-Cal and grant-funded requirements.
Download this quick evaluation checklist to verify compliance before you enroll your team.
Why This Checklist Matters
When billing Medi-Cal or reporting to grant funders, your organization is the one on the hook. You must attest that your CHWs have mastered core competency standards.
If a training provider cannot supply the exact audit trail you need, your reimbursements and funding are at risk. This checklist protects your organization by ensuring you collect defensible documentation upfront.
What You’ll Verify with This Tool
- Competency Alignment: Ensure training explicitly maps to the 11 C3 Core Skills, with course names that match the competencies.
- Medi-Cal Attestation Readiness: Confirm certificates include all required elements: CHW name, hours, completion date, competency areas, and provider credentials.
- CEU & BRN Validity: Verify the provider’s California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) certification to satisfy HRSA, DHCS, and foundation funders.
- Org-Level Documentation: Ensure completion records are held at the organizational level—not just by individual learners—so you are always audit-ready.
