Computer-Based Trainings
If you are looking for information on past seminars, teleconferences, and webinars, please visit us on our 'Educational Materials from Previous Events' page.
We are happy to announce that WPS Medicare's new "Mediasite" hybrid CBT (recorded video tutorial) has received tremendous positive response from our provider customers. WPS Medicare is pleased to introduce a collection of short educational segments.
From your feedback, we know that lots of our providers just don't have 45 minutes to spend during the work day to watch our recorded video seminars. In order to meet these needs, our Provider Outreach and Education staff are developing short messages on timely topics to get you the information you need, when you need it.
