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. By accepting
the certification requirements, the candidate agrees
to uphold the values and ethics of the AAMAS as an organization,
and to follow the AAMAS standards and bylaws, including
the guidelines outlined in the National Health Care
Billing Audit Guidelines approved by
the AAMAS general membership.
Distinguish
yourself among your peers and superiors, and demonstrate
that you have the ability, the acquired body of knowledge,
and the expertise as a medical auditor. Join the honored
group of certified medical auditors who are nationally
recognized for their achievement and professional expertise
