Provider Training
CCN Education Available for Providers
Providers will need to know how CCN works to ensure seamless care to Veteran patients.
TriWest has a full training program via its Payer Space on Availity that walks providers through the CCN processes and procedures. The training covers such topics as appointing and approved referrals/authorizations, claims submission, requests for services, and other CCN processes and procedures.
The training methods TriWest has available include:
- Webinars – live, interactive virtual classes where providers can ask questions in real time.
- MicroLearning Videos – short, bite-sized video snippets that cover various aspects of CCN.
- eSeminar Learning Paths – MicroLearnings based on a variety of topics that, when viewed consecutively, form a complete eSeminar. Think of MicroLearnings as individual songs and the Learning Path as the playlist.

Required VA Training!
The required opioid safety information is part of the VA Opioid Safety Initiative, a comprehensive strategy to reduce reliance on opioid medications and improve effectiveness and safety for Veterans. To meet the requirement, providers will register online and download a two-page fact sheet. If providers do not visit to register and take the VA-mandated training within the 180-day timeframe, providers may cease receiving new Veteran referrals until training is complete.
The VA’s recommended military culture training – Community Care Provider-A Perspective for Veteran Care – emphasizes the importance of knowing the influence of military culture and experience to improve treatment outcomes for Veterans. According to VA, Veterans seen by culturally informed providers reported they were more satisfied with their visit and, therefore, more comfortable seeking and sharing information about their health care needs. Providers will receive one hour of Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) accreditation for completing the military culture training.
