A Case Manager's Study Guide: Preparing for Certification, 2009-01-05
Very helpful and well-organized study guide. It has ample preparation material benficial for preparing for the certification exam. Only regret is while title mentions (CD-ROM), the CD-ROM was not included in the shipment I received.
CCM Prep, 2008-02-19
As a general and overall review, this is an excellent guide. Not having a CCM, I used to teach the content since I have both CRRN (certified rehabilitation RN) and CDMS (certified disability management specialist) which overlap the knowledge area for CCM (certified case manager). I found this to be an excellent review, and it covers a lot of information nicely. Few small points I would have seen changed: in the review questions, the stem does not stand alone in a few cases. For example, one review question has a distractor that includes contacting a patient's employer.... nowhere in the stem does it indicate we are talking about worker compensation, and the industry term "claimant" or "employee" or "injured worker" is not used. Leaving the correct choice the wrong choice for the question asked, since blindly contacting a patient's employer would be a frank violation of privacy. Also, the general use of "she" when referring to case managers is dated and certainly not gender inclusive. Licensed professional social workers, counselors and nurses are not all "she." So, those are small irritants. I will say that this is an excellent overall review, though, and certainly worth the investment. An added learning reinforcement is the included CD. Nice product.
ADDED 8/2/08: I passed the CCM examination, and this is the only study material I used, so I recommended it! EB

Don't rely on this study guide, 2007-11-26
This text was only helpful in that it presented topics that could then be researched using reliable sources. The study questions were extremely redundant, often with contradictory answers. In some cases, the text copied content directly from a public source (like Medicaid information) but then misinterpreted the information in the question and answer section. I found that some of the study guide "answers" were obviously incorrect when compared to the "gold standard" sources of information. Some topics that were emphasized by this study guide were never covered on the exam, while the exam included questions that were not addressed in the study guide.
A prep and study guide for the BIG exam!!!, 2007-07-09
This was the basic book that I used to prepare and study for the CCM exam. It is a total career change for me and I think this book enabled me to pass the CCM exam. It will be a good reference if/when I land a new job,
