Certificate Program: Financial Management



This certificate program is eligible for ACMPE and CEU credit.

Description
Financial management is the cornerstone of every medical practice. While many of the same competencies are required for managers in any organization, there are nuances specific to the delivery of healthcare in a clinical setting that differentiate the healthcare executive from their peers in other businesses or healthcare delivery environments. With that in mind, ACMPE has designed the Financial Management Certificate Program.

Aligned with the MGMA-ACMPE Financial Management Body of Knowledge, the Financial Management Certificate program is an in-depth online learning experience that provides healthcare leaders with a mastery of financial management concepts, including Payer Contracting; Revenue Cycle Management; Cash Flow, Accounts Payable and Payroll Management; and Financial Reporting and Budgeting.

Upon completion of the full 17-hour online program and an exam, participants will receive the Financial Management (FMC) certificate and credential.
