ACMA Case Management Hero Award

As practicing professionals, we know there are unsung heroes among us. But while caring for patients in a heroic manner, some health care workers struggle with challenging circumstances in their personal lives. Sometimes even a hero needs help and support. The ACMA Case Management Hero Award was established to recognize case management professionals, who continually deliver exemplary service for our patients and families, but also face a major life challenge and could benefit from ACMA's support. Since the award’s inception, ACMA has financially supported recipients with medical, mortgage, utility, and childcare expenses, funded scholarships, and more.

Legislative Advocacy

ACMA is the organization trusted to advocate on behalf of our members, case management professionals. Health care is an industry that must comply with a rapidly changing regulatory environment. ACMA is the voice of these professionals to US lawmakers.

• The Improving Access to Medicare Coverage Act (H.R. 3954) would allow the time Medicare beneficiaries spend in a hospital under observation to count toward the three-day stay requirement for skilled nursing facility (SNF) coverage. This bipartisan bill is designed to ensure that patients who spend three midnights in a hospital—regardless of their admission status—can access the post-acute care they need. Although the legislation has long enjoyed bipartisan support, concerns about potential costs have delayed its passage. However, recent data from Medicare Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) that waived the three-day requirement indicate that SNF use following non-qualifying hospital stays is extremely limited. Only 3–5% of ACO SNF stays were related to the waiver, and most of these admissions were directly from home. These findings suggest that the financial impact on Medicare would likely be minimal.

• ACMA and the Commission for Case Manager Certification (CCMC) have issued a joint position statement affirming the critical role and value of professional certification in case management. “To uphold the highest standards of care, case managers should obtain certification upon meeting qualification requirements and receive appropriate compensation for their vital services. Recognizing the value of certification through its inclusion in reimbursement models is a necessary step toward strengthening care delivery, reducing costs, and improving outcomes.” This advocacy priority emphasizes how certification strengthens professional competency, elevates practice standards, and contributes to improved patient outcomes.
