Proctoring
The examination must be done with a proctor. There are three options:
-
Proctors may be the candidate’s
supervisor, a representative from human resources or education/training
department, or a current CMCN/CMCP, a librarian at a public library, or a
professor or exam center at a local college/university. This exam can be
taken by paper or online. Online exams can be proctored remotely as long as
the exam taker can share their computer screen and have a webcam showing
themself.
-
Candidates may sit the exam at a
Managed Care Forum. This option costs an additional $25.
-
Candidates can sit the exam
remotely with ExamRoom.AI. This option costs an additional $25. If you
choose this option, we will reach out to you within five business days of
receiving your exam application and payment with instructions on how to
schedule your exam with ExamRoom.AI. Candidates who wish to use this remote
proctoring option must have access to a laptop or desktop computer with a
working webcam and microphone, an updated Operating System, an updated
version of Google Chrome, and a stable internet connection. If you need to
rent a laptop, you will be able to do so through ExamRoom.AI for an
additional fee (you can contact them for details). Important note: Candidates
must call no later than forty-eight (48) hours before the scheduled
examination to make scheduling changes or cancellations at no fee. In the
event of a late cancellation or “no show”, the $25 additional proctoring fee
you paid will not be refunded and must be paid again before rescheduling.
If you agree to proctor an exam, you must meet the following criteria:
-
Proctor must be ineligible to take the examination (proctor may already be a
CMCN/CMCP, but may not be currently working on becoming a CMCN/CMCP).
-
Proctor must agree to keep all materials and knowledge gained during the
process, completely and totally confidential.
-
Proctor agrees to oversee the examination for a period of four hours and to
assure that the candidate is in a secure environment (ie – away from
papers relevant to managed care, cell phones, people, and other
possible distractions).
-
Proctor agrees to not leave the candidate unsupervised during the
examination.
-
If the candidate requests a paper exam, the candidate’s exam date must be at
least 7 business days after date the proctor form is received by ABMCN.
Examinations are sent by Federal Express to the Proctor and are to arrive 3
business days prior to the examination date. Please plan accordingly.
-
For remote proctoring, the proctor agrees to require an initial 360 degree
view of the testing space via webcam and to monitor the candidate for the
duration through the candidate’s webcam AND screenshare.
With the exam, the proctor will be
given written instructions. The examination consists of five parts; Managed Care
Overview, Healthcare Economics, Healthcare Management, Patient Issues, and
Scenarios, which are to test mastery over the AAMCN’s standardized curriculum in
managed care.
If the candidate requests to take the
exam on paper, the exam materials will be Fed-Exed to arrive at the proctor’s
location 3 business days prior to the exam date.
If the candidate requests to take the
exam online, the proctor will be emailed the exam instructions two business days
prior to the exam date. The candidate’s answers are received at ABMCN when they
hit the final “Submit” button during the examination.
Candidates must score 70% or better to
pass.
The examination is designed with only one response being correct for each
question. The examination has been designed so that the candidate does not feel
rushed during the examination period. We allow no more than 4 hours for the
candidate to complete the exam.
Examination scores are confidential.
A pass/fail notification will be forwarded to the candidates within two weeks
from the receipt of the examination at ABMCN by US Mail.
Notes:
-
If the candidate is taking the exam online, their answers will not be saved
until they hit ‘Submit’. If there is a power outage or other technical
difficulty that causes the exam to close out early, the candidate will have
to start the exam over. If the retake requires more time than is
available and rescheduling is necessary, please notify
Jackie Beilhart at jbeilhart@abmcn.org
or (804) 527-1905 of your technical difficulty and rescheduled exam date
within 5 business days.
-
There is no
excuse for cheating. Should such an incident occur, the candidate is to be
excused from the room, and their exam score will be zero. There will be no
refund of any fees, nor will they be permitted to take the exam again.
-
Any questions
raised during exam time should be answered with “There is only one correct
answer. Please choose it as best you can.”
