Becoming CMAS
Through our professional association, we are proud to promote excellence and visibility by providing you the ability to earn the designation of Certified Medical Audit Specialist (CMAS). Its designation demonstrates an acquired body of knowledge and expertise in the field of medical audit.
We believe that certification of medical auditors as specialists will provide a standard set of expectations for employers and provide a quality assurance mechanism for the establishment of formal medical audit programs. Although medical auditors are found in multiple health care settings such as hospitals, physician practices, insurance companies, private and commercial audit companies, consulting firms, government contracted agencies, and the US government itself, they all share common skills.
By utilizing a fact based well-defined approach, the conduct of medical audit communication between entities will be enhanced. The ability of the auditors to move between different audit settings will be promoted through the use of standards, rules, guidelines, and expectations rather than opinion and self proclaimed policy. An individual awarded the Certified Medical Audit Specialist (CMAS) credential agrees to conduct himself/herself in an ethical and professional manner. This includes demonstrating a behavior that is indicative of professional integrity.
