Provider Investigator Training

The REM Group comprised of DIDD, TennCare, and the Managed Care Organizations are pleased to announce a new training platform for Provider Investigators. We have contracted with Labor Relations Alternatives (LRA) to be the official training partner for both Provider and State Investigators. LRA is a national leader in providing training and consultation in the development of incident management systems and conducting investigations for human service agencies and oversight entities. LRA has developed a virtual training platform that will allow for their nationally recognized in-person training to be done in an online forum. The three-day training will be taught by LRA certified DIDD Investigators and will come at no cost to providers. On the fourth day, Provider and State Investigators will be required to take the LRA online exam and a subsequent REM Tier 2 Training (formerly the DIDD One-Day Training), which will also be virtual. After successfully passing the LRA exam and completion of the REM Tier 2 Training, the Provider Investigator will have successfully completed the certification process.

Beginning in January, 2023 we will resume taking registration requests for the LRA training, utilizing the same process as the previous QuiLTSS Institute training. This link will take the provider to the registration page. DIDD will monitor the registrations and ensure all required backgrounds checks have been completed.

If you were previously certified through QuiLTSS Institute or have submitted your LRA certification by the deadline previously announced during the initial rollout of the QuiLTSS Institute training, you will not need to attend the LRA training to become a Certified Provider Investigator. Please send any questions you might have to DD.PITraining@tn.gov.    

Should you choose to contract with another provider to utilize their certified Provider Investigator, you will be required to follow the same process as any other Business Associate Agreement (BAA). The agreement must address Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Title 33. All BAAs shall be submitted to DIDD.REMHelp@tn.gov. The BAA must include the identified Provider Investigator(s) selected.
