We have been getting a lot of inquiries recently regarding the different types of Case Management Certifications available. Many of you want to know which is best for you. This is a very individual choice based on where you work, your professional background, and where you see yourself working in the future. This article gives a comparison of 3 of the more popular certification available for case managers to help you decide which one may be best for you.

My Opinion
I wanted to share how and why I chose the CCM Certification from different options.
At first, I was leaning toward the ANCC since I was a nurse and it was for nurses only. When it was time for me to apply, I asked the director of my department her opinion. Her answer was “the CCM is the gold standard”…
So, I began looking into CCM. I also looked at job postings for Case Manager positions I may want in the future and all the positions required CCM certification. Based on this, I made the choice to seek my CCM certification and have been extremely happy with my decision. My CCM certification has opened many doors for me.
While the CCM was the right choice for me, it will not be the right decision for everybody. You will need to take into consideration your current situation and where you see yourself in the future.
No matter which one you choose, good luck and know that you can do it! Being a Certified Case Manager is a great profession!

Abi Carmenon November 21, 2022 at 4:49 pm
Hi Shayne,

Please contact them at CCMCertification.org This article only lists a couple of certifications primarily for RNs. If you go to this page https://nursesadvocates.com/resources/ there is a PDF you can download on Stepping Up to Certification, The Case Manager’s Guide to Certification which covers a whole lot more.

I have had my CCM since 1999and have worked as telephonic and field case manager in the worker’s compensation area. I would like to get another certification but not sure if it should be CRRN or CDMS? Any advise?
Abi Carmenon March 16, 2022 at 7:07 am
Hi Shawnee,
Thank you for your comment. Hopefully, you have read the article as there is a rundown of each certification. More importantly, there are 59 comments prior to yours which should cover any other questions you may have.
Melinda J. Liddle, BSN RNon January 22, 2022 at 5:44 am
I am currently enrolled in a CE course by the AIHCP. There are 5 modules to complete with an exam at the end of each module. At completion of all 5 modules you may take the test to become certified. I have heard that these classes are not accredited and I just need to know whether to continue or not. I am learning a lot thus far. Please advise. Thank you
Abi Carmenon January 22, 2022 at 5:07 pm
Hi Melinda, We cannot comment or give an opinion on the Course you are already enrolled in as we are not familiar with the course. I would suggest heading over to one of our Case Management Instructors’ websites in which she has written a book on this exact subject. It is the second one down (Stepping Up to Certification) and it can be downloaded as a PDF at no charge. https://nursesadvocates.com/resources/ Thank you so much for your comment, I hope it helps.

Rochelon June 11, 2020 at 4:56 pm
Hi,
How would you compare the CCM certification with the CMC (certified care manager certification) offered by NACCM?
And do you offer any practice tests/ study guides/ books to prepare for the CMC exam? I see a lot of material available for the CCM exam but not for the CMC exam?
Appreciate any assistance, thanks!
Abi Carmenon June 16, 2020 at 9:57 am
Hi Rochel,
We concentrate our efforts (books and courses) on the CCM Exam as in our opinion it is the gold standard. As far as test questions, 2 choices are our recommended company which is Deanna’s favorite https://www.datachemsoftware.com/ccmpracticetest/ or a free choice which is our Facebook Group found at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1636796426601684/ Thank you so much for your comment.
DEBBIE PETTIBONEon June 10, 2020 at 11:21 am

I have a question regarding the eligibility requirements. I work in the area of Drug Treatment Court professionals. As I do not have a CASAC credentialing I do have a Bachelors of Arts degree with a minor in Sociology / Social Work course work. I also have a Master’s Degree in Public Administration. I was a Program Director for an Scatter Site program for 6 years and currently works as a Drug Court case manager for past 12 years. Would this qualify as a candidate for the Certified Case Manager exam?

Hi! I eas beginning to read some comments to see if anyone had a similar situation to myself, but I didn’t come across one. I have a BA in Sociology. Does this fall within the Education requirement? Also I work as a Service Coordinator for Children. I provide Case Management Services, I’ve been doing this 3-4 years. Would this qualify for the employment portion?
Hope these aren’t silly questions.
Thanks
Abi Carmenon December 4, 2019 at 2:01 pm

What is the passing rate for first time ACM test takers? Do you distinguish this by practice specialty?. I am a pediatric CM and no not routinely do half of the things that Adult CM do especially related to SNIF and Medicare. We are being asked to take this test but will not be reimbursed if we fail it.
Abi Carmenon February 8, 2019 at 10:36 am
This information is not public knowledge for either ACM or the CCM. We do focus all of our products on the CCM Exam of which we see a 90% pass for 1st time takers and about 80% for people taking the test the 2nd time. Once again these are numbers from the information we received from ‘our’ customers only.
Annon January 23, 2019 at 9:23 am
Ok so may be a silly question but I am currently a bedside RN and am looking to switch to case management. I would like to get a certification before I start applying for a CM job. My question is do I need to have a CM job before I can test for a certification?
Abi Carmenon January 23, 2019 at 10:14 am
Hi Ann,
Not a silly question at all as it confuses many. Here is a link to CCMC, the governing body of the Exam and the ones that would approve your status. https://ccmcertification.org/get-certified/certification/ccmr-eligibility-glance That aside we have just introduced a course for your exact situation but it is in the Beta Group testing presently. If you sign up at the bottom of our website we will keep you informed when it will open to the public. https://casemanagementinstitute.com Thank you for your question.
Jasmineon November 13, 2018 at 5:03 pm
I’m currently taking my general education classes and I’m thinking go getting a bachelor’s degree in psychology or sociology which would be more fitting to become a case manager at a hospital?
Abi Carmenon November 15, 2018 at 8:32 am
Hi Jasmine, Most Case Managers in a hospital setting are going to be either a Registered Nurse or a Social Worker.

I have had my CCM since 2001 , prior to the development of ACM. I have been a CM now for 21 years and now function in a Travel capacity. I do work mainly in hospital care settings. I am a member of the ACMA and currently undergoing Compass training. I have not had any issues with my certification thus far. I am proud of my CCM . Most of my continuing education is preapproved by CMSA. I’ve noticed while doing the Compass training under ACMA (which my company offers for free,) has alot of the same information and instruction that I receive under CMSA . I have thought of getting my ACM but is it really necessary?
Abi Carmenon May 20, 2018 at 4:03 pm
Hi Angela,
Thank you so much for your question. The only reason I can see that you would need the ACM would be if your employer required it.

I have ACM-RN, CCM, and RN-BC and hope to have one more by the end of the year. I think all 3 have value with no one certification better than the others.
I teach a prep course for both CCM and ACM. And believe there are subjects/topics common to both.Trishon May 10, 2018 at 7:54 pm
Nancy, do both the ACM and CCM pretty much mean the same thing when you are applying for case management jobs. Do most employers recognize either of these when hiring for case managers ? thank you

Yes, I see no need to have both. Many employees will accept either or.

Please feel free to email me at [emailprotected]
Thanks
Pat Suttonon July 27, 2017 at 7:56 am
Excellent comparison, but I believe within hospital settings, ACM is the gold standard. So you are correct in the advice to look at your individual professional goals and the ultimate setting in which you plan to practice.
Rebeccaon October 17, 2018 at 3:19 pm
Interesting, my experience is I have worked in various acute care facilities for past 4 years (travel) they all asked me if I had my CCM.
Last week had an local interview in a large acute medical facility and they help you pay for the CCM certification which is a little more money than ACM.
I do like the Compass training in ACM which I am a member also and it is quite relevant for acute care.
Stefani Danielson July 26, 2017 at 9:43 am
This resource is great but should be expanded to include more options. For example, the American Board of Managed Care Nursing offer CMCN (Certified Managed Care Nurse) or CMCP (Certified Managed Care Professional). In addition, the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing officer CCCTM (Certified Care Coordinator and Transition Management). Anyone with leadership experience should sit for the CMAC credential (Case Management Administrator, Certfied) offered by the Center for Case Management and all those who are certified in their field should join the Academy of Certified Case Managers.
Abi Carmenon July 31, 2017 at 12:34 pm
Hi Stefani,
This was a short article to give an overview of the most common types of Case Management Certification. We are working on a more detailed project with Anne Llewellyn and that will cover the certifications you mentioned. Thank you for your input.
