CCM EXAM.................. WOW!


I just took my CCM Exam~! WOW! Very hard to study for that!!! The material you are tested on is such a WIDE variety! I hope and pray I passed! I took 3 hours!

I have worked in many different nursing settings and all of them helped me alot with the test....
Here are some things to look up and read about in your studies!

Vocational Rehab (I had TONS of questions regarding vocational rehab)
ADA specifics
Rehab Hospitals
the differences in SNF and LTAC
Specifics regarding Axis I, II, III, IV, V
Medicare
Medicaid
SSI and PASS assosiated with SSI
SSDI
ERISA
Women's Health and Cancer rights Protection
Limits on mental health benefits
Insurance reimbersement
life care plans
HIPAA (there is ALOT more to HIPAA than I ever realized!)
and all the obvious stuff too!


My brain is fried.... but those are just some things that stick in my mind from my test that might help to CRAM into your brain if you are taking yours soon!

Hi back!

I studied very little to be quite honest. I just never found the time and the date snuck up on me! But what I did study were things given to me by other CCM takers from the past.......

One large notebook called "A Case Manager's Study Guide, Preparing for Certification" By Jones and Bartlett Publishers

I just basically took a bunch of practice tests in the notebook and then also, I studied a

"Glossary of Terms" Published by the Commission for Case Manager Certification.

Honestly, alot of the things I know I answered correctly came from my experience in the nursing field in a variety of settings.

good luck! I hope that helps!

Well Reading this made me remember to go check the site, and I PASSED!!! IT is a miracle! I studied for 2-3 hours the night before the test, using an old hand me down study guide from another one of the nurses I work with!! I honestly think my diverse experience really helped me though! I DON'T claim to be SMART! hahaha

But Tickeled! YES!
