Finding info about helpful ccm prep books/classes

Specialties Case Management

Published

I need some advise on what preparation books or online classes to help prepare me for an upcoming CCM test I will be taking this July. I have 4 years experience working with an IPA doing utilization management/case management. I was an ICU nurse for 2 years prior to this current job. I have no other case management experience. I don't work with medicare/medicaid patients. I have never worked in workman's comp. I'm pretty oblivious to other aspects of case management except from an HMO perspective. What would be a great book or online prep class that would be helpful in preparing me for the CCM.

I do best practicing on practice questions. Where can I get a good amount of practice questions?? ANY HELP WOULD BE SO APPRECIATED!!!!!

I honestly don't know anything about whether it's good or bad though.

Hi, you will be at a disadvantage if you have never done any case management. One course that I highly recommend is from a company called Prime, the course is called "case management essentials" you will also get ceu's for the course. Be sure to read the cases in Mod 2, it will let you understand the actual practice of CM. Good luck!
