They have a 2hr ethics credit. CVS has some too. I think it's called corem, and another org called Prime but cannot remember the website. Consider joining Case Managers Community on FB. The topic comes up a lot.

If you are a Nurse Case Manager, there are courses available that offer Nursing CEU's AND CCM CEU's in a single course!! I only know of Anderson CE courses which do this routinely. As an RN, I have timed the taking of my online RN exams, to ensure that the CCM credits are timed to allow 3 RN-cycles of testing to also complete my single-cycle CCM requirements. Although those 24 to 30-hour courses are not free, they are obviously EXCELLENT time savers for dual-license holders. And I know that at least with AndersonCE, you can have the book used for the testing to add to your personal library. I always found their books to be well-written, and cover MANY topics well beyond the ones I studied for my CE credits.

In regards to free courses. If you go to your Internet browser, and simply search for word combinations such as CCM FREE CEU, you will come up with a huge list of companies and offerings. Add the word ETHICS etc to your search, and you can even find the specialty courses you need for your mandatory courses needed for that license cycle. Obviously, you then want to check the certification of the provider(s) you have chosen. You can do this by going to the CM or Nursing Board sites, and they list approved providers of CEU's.

PRIME is a company that offers MANY free CEU courses. I believe it has to do with their own licensing/certification needs of products. So -- their need translates into free CEU opportunities for nurses, case managers, and other health care professionals. I have always found their courses to be well-written. If you are ever able to go to one of their live seminars, especially if it is offered as part of a convention such as that by the CMSA. then it is well worth it. Their seminar sessions are always booked/always popular at conventions.

P.S. -- The website for PRIME is primeinc.org
