The CCM test covers rehab, psych, about 1/3 workers comp in the total of contents. And some questions about Medicare, MCAL ( or Medicaid ) and PPO/HMO stuff. You will definitely be more marketable after having the cert.

Those are alot of areas to cover for a test. I know nurses who are great case managers however have not worked in all areas and the test focused on some areas they had not worked in. What would be the advice to study for this test?
