RE: Enrollment Facilitator Training Seminar

================================================================================

The Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) would like to enlist your

assistance in an important program that will significantly affect individuals

you serve.

Over the course of the next six months, HFS will be enrolling certain

individuals in suburban Cook County and in the Counties of Lake, Kane, DuPage,

Will and Kankakee into the two HMOs awarded contracts to operate the Integrated

Care Program. All adults over the age of 18 in these counties who are eligible

for Medicaid as a result of being elderly or disabled who are not also eligible

for Medicare and who are not eligible with a spend-down must be enrolled in the

Integrated Care Program. This is a mandatory program and those individuals who

do not choose one of the HMOs will be auto-assigned to one by the Department.

In order to maximize the number of people who make an active choice, we are

asking your organization to participate in the enrollment process as an

enrollment facilitator. As an enrollment facilitator, your organization will

provide assistance to individuals as they consider their choices and attempt to

find the best HMO for them and help them through the actual enrollment process

with the Client Enrollment Broker. Enrollment facilitators will be paid a $20

fee for each individual they assist in making an active enrollment with the

Client Enrollment Broker.

In order to participate as an enrollment facilitator, your organization must

register with the Client Enrollment Broker and attend a training seminar. This

is a train-the-trainer seminar, so not every individual who will assist with

enrollment need attend. HFS is

requesting that each organization limit the number of enrollment facilitators to

three, with one enrollment facilitator designated as the lead facilitator. The

lead facilitator will serve as the point of contact for your organization for

the Client Enrollment Broker. The lead facilitator is also the individual that

should attend the train-the-trainer seminar for your organization. The lead

facilitator will take back the information and training materials that are

provided at the seminar to train your organizations additional enrollment

facilitator staff.

The train-the-trainer seminar will be offered on the following dates:

.. Tuesday, February 8, 2011 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

.. Wednesday, February 9, 2011 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Each seminar will be presented at the Client Enrollment Broker facility located

at:

1375 East Woodfield Drive

Schaumburg, Illinois 60173

In order to participate in the Integrated Care Program enrollment process as an

enrollment facilitator and to register your organization for the

train-the-trainer seminar, please call the Client Enrollment Broker at

847-610-8400 no later than Friday, February 4, 2011.
