University of Washington experts provide the Autism Center of Excellence (COE) trainings through a contract with the Health Care Authority (HCA). As of July 2024, we are contracted to provide 4 general trainings a year.

Purpose of the COE Training

To increase the number of qualified clinicians (COEs) across Washington State who can appropriately diagnose children and youth with autism who have Medicaid insurance.
To foster collaboration between providers and systems serving autistic children and youth and their families
Help children and families access needed services as appropriate, including writing a Medicaid/Apple Health prescription for Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). COE required for Managed Care Organization (MCO) prescription approval.

Who is Eligible to Become a COE

The HCA determines which primary care and other clinicians can become COEs. Currently the list includes medical physicians working in primary care, specialty physicians, clinical psychologists, ARNPs and pediatric naturopaths. Physician Assistants (PA-C) whose supervising clinician is a COE are eligible as of Jan 1, 2023.

Who is Eligible to Attend the Training

Clinicians who serve patients with Washington State Medicaid insurance or support clinicians doing this work. We welcome others interested in learning more about autism who are providing care coordination, peer support, mental or behavioral health services etc. There are limited spots for out of state providers interested in learning more about this approach to training primary care providers to diagnose autism.
