Try it out today and let us know what you think! Links to the new forms can be found at the bottom of this page under "Current Forms". The PDF versions are still available for Providers who wish to continue using the paper format.
** REMINDER ** New Fee Schedule Went Into Effect May 1, 2009! This is a reminder that in May 2009 the renewal rate increased by $100 and, in an effort to reduce the number of late submissions, a new "late fee" policy was implemented. Refer to the revised Fee Schedule for more information.
** REMINDER ** Annual Renewal/Audit Process for 2010. Most providers are aware that major revisions were made to the CAPE Standards of Practice and that the changes went in to effect January 1, 2008 (a copy of the current Standards can be found at the bottom of this page under "Current Forms"). One of the biggest changes was to combine the annual renewal and audit processes in order to make the entire system more efficient. We will continue to implement that process as outlined below:
a. The annual renewal and audit processes were combined to increase efficiency and convenience, and to accurately review a provider’s ability to comply with the established record-keeping and reporting guidelines (which is the primary basis for renewal). In 2010, providers will be required to submit materials from one CE program presented in 2009 along with their renewal notification form and payment; organizations that did not provide CE programs in 2009 will only be required to submit the renewal notification form and payment.
b. All providers should know when their accreditation status is up for renewal. If you do not know this information, please contact Shannon Presidio at (916) 779-1410, ext. 324.
c. The 2010 Renewal/Audit Deadlines can be found at the bottom of this page under "Current Forms". Providers will be notified 2 ½ months prior to their expiration date and will have 6 weeks in order to submit the required renewal/audit materials and payment to CAPE. Upon receipt of the Provider’s materials, CAPE will complete the audit process (which includes sending course materials to a qualified reviewer to judge the quality of the program based on the Standards of Practice and the California Code of Regulations), review the provider’s reporting and record keeping history for the past year and submit the Provider’s “Renewal/Audit Status Report” on or before their expiration date. It is imperative that the deadlines are met so that a Provider’s accreditation status is not jeopardized.
d. CAPE will send all renewal/audit notifications via email unless the Provider specifically requests otherwise. The emailed notifications will include a reminder about the process, the designated deadlines and the appropriate form(s). Providers will be responsible for completing and submitting the form(s) by the designated deadlines. Hard-copy notifications and forms will not be supplied, unless requested by the Provider in advance.
