CareFirst Launches Health Equity Webpage and Specialized Courses for Providers
CareFirst Launches Health Equity Resources for Providers
At CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and CareFirst BlueChoice, Inc. (collectively “CareFirst”), our goal is to continue to bring you meaningful and relevant content to help you support your patients, our members. We are dedicated to creating resources and training targeted to provider specialties and expanding the clinical content we offer our healthcare delivery partners.
To start, we’ve added a new Health Equity webpage to the Learning and Engagement Center. On this page, you will find specialized on-demand training resources specific to our member population. Three on-demand modules are live and available for you to use, on your own time.
We will continue to add more health equity resources to the site, with the goal of launching more than 20 different resources through the end of next year, including articles and case studies.
To view the new webpage and resources, go to carefirst.com/learning and select “Health Equity.”
