The
Differences Between
Certified Case Managers and Case Managers
CCMC believes
that certification is valuable to case managers and knows
from the growing demand for certified case managers that
employers acknowledge this value as well. Our goal is to
ensure that those who achieve certification possess the
education, skills, and experience needed to deliver
appropriate services to all they serve.
Independent
Practice
Certified Case
Managers, according to CCMC, must hold a current, active,
and unrestricted licensure or certification in a health or
human services discipline that allows the professional to
conduct an assessment independently, as permitted within the
scope of practice of the discipline and must satisfy the
necessary employment experience (12-24 months of acceptable
case management employment experience as defined by CCMC).
Commitment &
Accountability
Case managers who
have earned the Certified Case Manager (CCM®) credential
have the expertise, knowledge, and professional experience
to provide the right services to patients across the
continuum of care, including those with serious or complex
medical conditions, and/or catastrophic injuries and
illnesses. The CCM® credential means that case managers are
committed to uphold the highest professional and ethical
standards.
In today’s health
care environment, patients/clients need an advocate on their
side. A Certified Case Manager is the right professional to
act in an individual’s best interest in a complex and
fragmented health care system to provide optimum value and
desirable outcomes for all involved.
