Which Agency for Certification?

Published

Which testing agency is recognized in the US for Case Management certification? I have seen ANCC American nurses credentialing center and CCMCertification.org.

Im new to the CM thing, so I'm just going by what I understand from what ive read: CCM is for any licensed professional who does case management, including nurses. The ANCC RN BC credential is only for nurses. From what ive read, a nurse doesnt really need both, so one or the other will suffice. Again, i dont have either cert, this is just what ive gathered from online research.

I think CCM is the most recognized at least in the hospitals and with the insurers I worked for.

Did you use any study materials in preparation for the exam?

In my case, I ended up buying a few study guides that really didn’t help much. The best preparation was the actual CCM site. There used to be a section that sort of outlined what you need to know. Many of the questions came from there.

Commission for Case Manager Certification CCMC. I bought a study guide because it provides information, break down of the topics and test questions but not sure how much in alignment it is with the exam. The CCM practice exam is currently not available for purchase.
