From case management to continuous quality improvement, from utilization management to Medicaid managed care products, from HMOs & PPOs to Reimbursement, from provider profiling & accreditation to HIT; the program establishes a background of managed care key topics alongside history, legal and ethical issues, and negotiation skills.

In addition to a Textbook covering these wide ranging topics, the Study Guide contains over eight hours of video presentations that complement each chapter of the Textbook. The Study Guide also includes a glossary of terms and practice questions. Students get access to all of these materials online.

Passing the Home Study Course post test earns the student 18 NCPDs. It also qualifies students to sit the Certification in Managed Care Examination administered by the ABMCN. This purchase includes one year of complimentary membership to AAMCN. This can be a new or renewing membership (one year of membership will be added to your expiration date).
