I just posted under CCM exam study material suggestions, thought I would post this here too. I took the exam in April and passed. The most helpful advice I got was on this site; it was to do the Anderson CE CMSA Curriculum for Case Management Second Edition, Sections A & B ( have to get book and tests), "guided" reading. The second most helpful advice I got was to print out and learn the "Glossary of terms" from the CCMC site. With these plus my experience, I felt pretty well prepared. Good luck!

I took the exam in April and passed. The most helpful advice I got was on this site; it was to do the Anderson CE CMSA Core Curriculum for Case Management Second Edition, Sections A & B, each 15 hours of "guided" reading (you have to get the book plus tests). The second most helpful advice was to print out and learn the "Glossary of Terms" on the CCMC site. I felt pretty well prepared after doing these 2 things, plus my experience. Good luck!

I would rank U of F and Capital as the top 2; sounds like you've done your research. I'm located in FL, so it'll be U of F for me. If I was in Ohio, I'd go to Capital. I did the CLNC program at VMI, and there were people there who had already done the LNC course at Kaplan, and were not impressed w/ it, so I don't know how much better the LCP course there would be. As far as full time, hard to know. An experienced LCP I talked w/ said demand waxes & wanes, sometimes 5 plans to do at once, sometimes she falls back on case mgmt, her background (for different pts). Where are you located?

Life Care Planning Life Care Planning allows adjusters and attorneys working with disabled individuals to plan for the future with the knowledge of when and how the expenditures for care will be allocated, allowing for financial planning and the setting of reserves from provider sources. Life Care Plans also provide an excellent tool for claim settlement negotiations. Highly qualified professionals with more than 25 years of experience in Life Care Planning are able to accurately establish and quantify medical damages resulting from an injury. We provide a detailed outline of the current and future medical, vocational, educational and psychosocial needs of a catastrophically ill or injured individual, while projecting the related costs annually or over the individual's life expectancy. The above was from a website offering LCP services. There are sample plans viewable online that have history and evaluation (developed in collaboration w/ a variety of other professionals) medical, vocational, educational, transportation etc.. then cost projection tables. Onsite interview/assessment is involved. It sounds interesting & more in demand than LNC work alone, tho could be a good combo. I'm going to be enrolling in a program in the next month or so.
