Don’t procrastinate, Renew today - DUE May 31, 2015
Announcing an amnesty period of 2 weeks due to CCMA transition! Exciting news for CMAS renewals!!!!
An amnesty period extending to June 14th has been granted for this renewal cycle only due to CCMA transition.
Effective December 4, 2014 membership in AAMAS is no longer a requirement. The Council recognizes the many relevant organizations that work with our core mission. Therefore, membership to revenue integrity organization or quality management organization is now acceptable. Examples would be HFMA, AHIA, AAPC, AHIMA, state affiliated Medical Auditor Associates (FMAA, TMAA etc.) and this list can go on. A membership to at least one organization is still a requirement.
Also effective June 1, 2014, you will only need 24 hours of continuing education units to renew. For this renewal cycle this will mean those 24 hours will need to be obtained between June 1 2012 and May 31, 2015.
Please note that we do not need copies of all those education units. We will request them based on random audits to ensure compliance with these requirements.
This is the BIG Renewal year for all of us who were at Scottsdale in 2000. Also those of you who tested in 2003 at San Diego CA, 2006 in Houston TX, 2009 in Denver CO, and 2012 in Phoenix AZ. Please check your certificate for make sure you are up for renewal. We don’t want anyone not being able to renew this year and we hope we reach ALL of you!!
CCMA is working on new e-mail addresses and links as well as a new website. More information to come!
For now you can reach Cheryl Wilson at info@certifiedmedicalauditor.com until we have this next phase complete.
