Events
/ Fliers
4.
Why don't I receive a luncheon flier any more?
Luncheon fliers are a
Members Only service. If you or your company are
not a current year member, you have probably been
taken off the Luncheon e-mailing list.
Current
members: if you have changed employers or your company has moved, this may
have affected your mailing status. If you wish to
receive a Luncheon flier you can add, change, or
renew your e-mailing information by using our Mailing List
Update Form.
5.
Why don't I receive a seminar flier?
We have been updating our
Mailing List and try to keep up on as many
changes as we can. However, if you have changed employers or your company has moved, this may
have affected your mailing status. If you wish to
receive a Seminar flier you can add, change, or
renew your mailing information by using our Mailing List
Update Form.

7. Why do I have
to pre-register for events?
Pre-registration allows us
to ensure there will be enough tables and food
for participants. We strongly encourage
pre-registration, although we do accept walk-ins
on a space available basis only. Walk-ins may be
charged a higher fee. You may pre-register or
cancel your registration up to 72 hours (3 days)
before the event. No-shows and cancellations
within 72 hours (3 days) of the event will not be
refunded.
8.
How do I get information on previous luncheons and
seminars?
You can view information on
prior events by visiting our Event Archives
page. We are still in the processing of capturing
as much information as possible on prior events.
9.
I have some great ideas for speakers and topics, who
do I contact?
We are always very happy to
hear from you on potential speakers and will make
every effort to include suggested speakers and
topics. Please contact the WCCA
Vice President: vicepres1@wccaonline.org.

CEC /
Certificate Information
12.
Why do I have to have my Supervisor order my Examiner
Certificate?
Under the new Examiner
Certification rules it is your employer's
responsibility to determine your recertification
eligibility and recertify you when appropriate.
Although WCCA has developed some CEC tools to
assist your employer in this process, we do not
have the authority to recertify any examiner.
Therefore the Examiner Certificate must be
ordered through your employer and is only valid
when it has been signed by your employer.
Pursuant to current Oregon law, only insurance companies,
self-insured employers or TPAs can certify or recertify a claims
examiner. If you are not currently working for an insurance
company or self-insured employer, you should continue to
maintain proof of your CEC hours. Ideally you should keep
separate folders for each recertification period to ensure you
have adequate hours for each recertification period.

13. How
can I find out what events I have attended?
14. How can I find out how many WCCA CECs I have so
far?
If you or your company are a
current WCCA member you can request a
letter from WCCA indicating the WCCA CEC hours you have
received over the course of the year. We will
only be tracking WCCA events; courses offered by
any other source are not tracked by WCCA. If you
are not sure of your membership status you can
check our Membership
List for your company's
membership status. If you believe you may hold
individual membership but wish to check, please contact
the WCCA Secretary or
secretary@wccaonline.org
Current WCCA members can
also access this information via email to
secretary@wccaonline.org
during the year. If you are not a current WCCA
member you will receive an email indicating you
are not a current member with a helpful link to
our Membership
Application.
