Testimonials
"Thank you for the opportunity to become a CMM. I am so happy to have passed the exam; what a wonderful challenge! I learned so many things that I did not know and I refreshed in my mind on so many things that I did know and had forgotten or took for granted. I was surprised at how much I knew. Every day we work with all the issues addressed and think nothing of it, until we are questioned and then we try to second quess ourselves. I am so happy to belong to PAHCOM and now to be a Certified Medical Manager." - Liz Schultz, CMM, Lehigh Valley
"PAHCOM makes a difference! I just got promoted to a larger facility, thanks in part to my certification! I can't thank you enough for all you've done to promote the professionalism of being a health care office manager!" - Lisa Kodya, CMM, Port St. Lucie, FL
"In this world of increasingly complex medical practices, clinic managers must be continually upgraded and educated in their knowledge of personnel, administration, CPT coding and compliance concerns and, most particularly, continual expense control. An organization like PAHCOM provides an outstanding forum for managers to meet and share knowledge and concerns of medical practices. Participation of managers in an organization like PAHCOM is an absolute MUST!" - James E. Hammond, CHBC, CPA, Healthcare Management Consultants, Inc.
