Job Offer ! Hoorah!

Having worked as CM in the past in psych & substance abuse, I think you will get diversified experience in both areas. Workers comp may not be quite as diversified, but the reasons for the workers comp could be. As for medicaid population, you would definitely see many different areas - depression, lots of mental health issues, homelessness, joblessness, no outside supports, no income (other than usually SSDI), drugs, alcoholism, medical problems either caused by any of the above or totally separate.
Of course, with the workers comp you could also deal with a lot of the same stuff because most people out of work with a disability then become depressed, could lose their homes, could have marital problems. Lots for yyou to think about. Either one is a good place to start. Good luck with your choice and the job. Teh

I'm sorry but that I don't know. Maybe you can ask the interviewer at the workmen's comp. Or maybe someone here does have the answer and will be able to provide it. Wish you well. Teh

You can go on the CCMC web site to get that info. It's been a while and I wouldn't want to give you the wrong info. http://www.ccmcertification.org/

Congratulations on your job offers. I would think that most case management positions would put you in line for the CCM. In fact, the employer I work for currently requires us to have it. I have some former and current acquaintances that worked worker's comp and got their CCM.

HI, Emeraldga, congratulaitions! I'm looking at CM position at AmeriGroup, genex, and some other places. But I have no experience as a Cm? Do you think it's possible to get job offer with no experince? And how hard the job would be for me? Thamks.
