Provider orientation in Glenn County

Not stated online

The county lists watching the State orientation video as step 1 of enrollment and says the video will be "available here soon" on its Provider Enrollment page. It says nothing else about how orientation is done.

How to start: The Provider Enrollment page lists four steps and says to call the Public Authority to schedule an appointment. The Public Authority's main page also has a "Continue to Enrollment" button.

Call the Glenn County main IHSS line and ask how new providers complete orientation.

It's a way to show a recipient you understand HTG rankings, timesheets and EVV, and protective supervision, with a certificate they can verify online.

Stand out to Glenn County recipients

Enrollment gets you eligible to work — it doesn't show a recipient you understand how the system actually works day to day. The Care Provider Readiness Certification is a private, verifiable credential that does: a 15-question knowledge check, then an instant PDF certificate and a badge any recipient can check live.
