Your CMAC Certification

As a CMAC certified professional, you must meet specified requirements in order to maintain and renew your certification every 5 years. The purpose of certification renewal is to provide evidence that you have continued to expand your professional knowledge and to demonstrate continued competency in your field.

CMAC Certification shows that you are in a prestigious group of administers, managers, directors and leaders that have demonstrated competency by obtaining validation through certification.

Recertification Requirements

The CMAC credential is valid for a five (5) year period. To recertify, fifty (50) hours of continuing education are required.

• Forty (40) of the Fifty (50) hours must be specific to case management, administration, leadership or specific to your field of practice. The remaining ten (10) hours can be general health education related.
• Ten (10) hours can be non-Case Management or leadership in healthcare related.

NOTE: For option #1 below, one (1) continuing education credit (CE) equals one (1) 60-minute hour.

Approved ACM educational programs must be sponsored, presented or approved by one of the ACM accepted approving organizations, and include courses for which the content/subject matter is specific to either (A) health care delivery system case management or (B) related to the practice of healthcare in the certificant’s field of practice.

NOTE: All ACMA-issued continuing education can automatically be applied to the CMAC recertification requirements. Along with your continuing education credits, you will be required to complete a recertification application and submit this with payment of $185.00.

CMAC certified professionals can maintain and recertify their certification through their CMAC Certification Portal by simply logging in and selecting the “Recertification” tab.

Prior to the expiration of your credential, be sure to log into your portal to ensure all information is up-to-date and that continuing education information provided meets the requirements of renewal. You will be required to sign an attestation and submit payment information online prior to submitting your recertification for approval. Certificants who fail to meet the recertification requirements by their certification expiration date may be subject to an additional fee of $200.00 to reinstate their credential.

Karen Vanaskie Scholarship Fund

Karen Vanaskie was one of case management's brightest and most dedicated professionals. She was serving as Secretary / Treasurer on the ACMA National Board of Directors at the time of her unexpected passing on June 21, 2024.

At the request of Karen's family, ACMA has set up the Karen Vanaskie Scholarship Fund. Karen was passionate about the need for case management certification. She actively supported her staff in pursuing the Accredited Case Manager (ACM) Certification. To continue her legacy, this scholarship fund will cover the cost of their ACM certification application fee for those to whom it is awarded. We believe this continues Karen's legacy.
