Looking to get an ACM™ certification? In December, the American Case Management Association (ACMA) and National Board for Case Management (NBCM) announced a change to the exam eligibility requirements that may be of interest to those looking to earn ACM certification. The NBCM now allows applicants with at least one year of full-time supervised work experience to sit for the ACM-RN (Registered Nurse) and ACM-SW (Social Work) exams. Prior to this change, candidates had to have at least two years of case management experience before they could take either exam.
This week’s Medicare updates include Medicare Outpatient Observation Notice (MOON) instructions, ICD-10 coding revisions to NCDs, a new “K” code for continuous positive airway pressure device bundle, and more!
The March 8 Medicare Outpatient Observation Notice implementation deadline is quickly approaching, which means organizations must act now to ensure that their staff members are ready accurately and completely to fill out and deliver the form. There were some changes from the proposed version of the form CMS first released to the final version it ultimately approved December 7, 2016.
