What to do first to become a Waiver Support Coordinator

First things first, Review the enrollment process which is provided at the APD Website.
As indicated on the website as of March 2019 these items are the qualifications that need to be met.

• Must be certified and enrolled as a Medicaid Waiver provider of Support Coordinator.
• May be either single (solo) providers or agency providers.
• If employed by an agency, must have a bachelor's degree and two years professional experience in developmental disabilities, special education, mental health, counseling, guidance, social work or health and rehabilitative services.
• If a solo provider, must have a bachelor's degree and three years experience in developmental disabilities, special education, mental health, counseling, guidance, social work or health and rehabilitative services.
• A minimum of 60 hours of pre-service training is required consisting of 34 hours of statewide pre-service training and 26 hours of district specific training which includes orientation to the district, local resources and local operational procedures.

As of 2019 the following Document is used as the Waiver Support Coordinator Enrollment form 

Note there are a Lot of things on this form and it will potentially take you as long as a Month to get all of them ready. 

One for the first things you can do is submit to this site to get your Background Screening. 

Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse Website is Here  

Many of the other items are relatively simple, provided you have access to the information if not you may need to reach out to others to get the information. 

Here are the items that are of potential difficulty. 

• Writing your "Policies & Procedures" - While this is an exercise in writing, it also demonstrates that you understand your responsibilities and you have taken the time to write down how you intend to function as a WSC in accordance with the iBudget and APD guidance provided. 
• Florida Business Registration and Articles of Incorporation. This takes time because you should incorporate to allow for legal protection as well as identifying you as a formal business and organization. Also depending on how you organize it may have large tax implications and may be required to get your Liability Insurance. 
•  Copy of Declaration Pages of General or Professional Liability business Insurance This says General Liability However, you should consider Professional Liability otherwise known as "Errors & Ommissions" Insurance. There are very few of the BIG insurance companies that will insure you. The primary reason is they have NO IDEA what you do and they are typically stuck with only insuring the types of businesses that fit into their "drop down" on the forms they use to provide quotes. Very important to make sure they do not classify you as something you are not. We found our quote at CPHINS.com 
•  Pre-service training and other requirements: If you need training you can work through your APD representative or enrollment specialist and schedule Pre-service Training. 

These are the primary items. to be concerned about. Of Course until you submit the application and then you have another waiting game. Waiting on APD to process the enrollment. That is another story completely.
