No. You need a computer with Internet access and speakers or a telephone able to dial-out to a toll-free number.

Dues paying Member Organizations can designate up to two tuition free registrations per program. Dues paying Platinum Supporting Members can designate one tuition-free registration per program. All Individual Members, Law Enforcement Liaisons, Premiere Supporting and Supporting Members, and any Non-Members, including local, state and federal public agencies, wishing to participate will need to submit a registration form and applicable payment. All participants may purchase additional lines.

For employees of Member Organizations, including any Supporting Member category, or law enforcement or government entity, each registration includes 1 webinar login and 1 telephone dial-in; however, multiple people may participate and earn credit.

• In an in-person environment, people may sit together in the same room.
• If working remotely, registered participants may stream our webinar through their own virtual meeting platform (Teams, WebEx, Zoom, etc.). Here is additional logistical information. If you are having trouble, please contact your IT Department to help you navigate the best way to facilitate streaming. If NHCAA can provide information or talk to your IT Department, let us know at programs@nhcaa.org.

Individual Member and Non-Member registration includes 1 webinar login and 1 telephone dial-in. The content should not be shared with other individuals or teams.

Each webinar is worth 1.5 CPE credits . To earn credit, participants need stay active and engaged with the webinar through participation in checkpoints and attend for the duration of the event. Registered attendees who fulfill these requirements will receive the attestation/evaluation survey link. This link should be provided to anyone who attended with you, either virtually or in person, so they may also receive credit for attending. Once the attestation/evaluation survey has been completed a certificate will be emailed directly to the individual submitting.

Note, the attestation/evaluation link is open for three weeks after the webinar. After that time, NHCAA will not be able to add the program to transcripts. Please forward and complete the survey promptly.

All webinars will be taught as Level II programs, where some investigative, health care and/or coding expertise is assumed, and training content is focused on the investigative process, using case examples to highlight investigative strategy and techniques.

If your organization qualifies to share the webinar, the registered participant acts as a liaison between NHCAA and the registering organization, also known as the “Registration Contact.” Duties include:

• Promote and communicate availability of the webinars to colleagues.
• Test the technology at least one day before the webinar and reach out to NHCAA or your IT Department if issues arise.
• Login/dial-in in the day of the webinar (facilitate sharing the webinar with virtual colleagues if applicable)
• Download material from the webinar platform and distribute.
• Keep a record of who participates for the duration of the event. If you are in a virtual environment, please keep reports of log-in/log-out times for each attendee. If you are in person, please have each individual sign in to the meeting room. Please keep records for 5 years. This keeps NHCAA in compliance with NASBA, our accrediting body.
• Participate in any checkpoints or polls to show that your line is active and engaged. Stay on for the duration of the event.
• Forward the attestation link to anyone who participated for the duration of the event. Completing the attestation form tells NHCAA that individual attended the program, places it on the profile in our database, assigns 1.5 CPEs of credit, and automatically emails a certificate. The survey is open for 3 weeks, after that time, NHCAA is unable to add the program to a profile or award credit.

The Monday prior to the actual webinar, NHCAA will email the login link and dial-in information. This link will work starting the morning of the webinar, but it’s not fully functional until one-hour prior to the webinar. You will need to enter your email address to access the webinar screen. Materials are available on the webinar screen for download.

The presentation and any handouts provided by faculty will be available on the webinar interface one-hour prior to the webinar start time.
