Certified Case Manager (CCM) Nurse Directory
CCM Nurse Directory
"CCM" means different things depending on who's searching. Find a Certified Case Manager (CCM) nurse for complex care coordination and discharge planning, or a Chronic Care Management nurse who supports patients with ongoing chronic conditions between visits — search both by state, setting, and certification.
Directory listings are self-reported and cross-checked on a rolling schedule — they are not an official licensing or certification record. Always verify credentials independently through the relevant state board of nursing, Nursys, or the issuing certification body before making a care, hiring, or referral decision.

What is a CCM Nurse?
"CCM" has two common meanings in nursing, and this directory covers both. A Certified Case Manager (CCM) is a specific national board certification — held by many RNs — for professionals who coordinate complex care across providers, payers, and settings.
"Chronic Care Management" (also abbreviated CCM) refers to a Medicare-billed care model where nurses provide ongoing, non-visit care coordination for patients with two or more chronic conditions — a distinct role that does not require the CCM certification itself.
Related roles searched under similar terms include utilization review nurses (who evaluate medical necessity and length of stay) and care coordination or care management nurses more broadly (who may or may not hold a formal case-management certification).
CCM Nurse credentials & licensing
What it takes to practice as a ccm nurse in the United States.
Active state RN license (most case management and chronic-care-management nurses are RNs; some case managers are social workers or other licensed clinicians).
Certified Case Manager (CCM) credential from the Commission for Case Manager Certification (CCMC) — one certification among several (ACM-RN, CMGT-BC) that case managers may hold.
Minimum 12–24 months of supervised case management experience required to sit for the CCM exam; chronic-care-management nurses typically need RN licensure plus care-coordination experience, without a separate exam.
80 hours of continuing education every 5 years to maintain the CCM credential.

CCM Nurse questions, answered
What does "CCM nurse" mean?+
It usually means one of two things: a Certified Case Manager (CCM), a specific board certification from the Commission for Case Manager Certification, or a Chronic Care Management nurse, who provides ongoing non-visit care coordination for patients with chronic conditions under Medicare's chronic care management program. This directory includes both.
Is a Chronic Care Management nurse the same as a Certified Case Manager?+
No. A Chronic Care Management (CCM) nurse delivers a specific Medicare-billed service — recurring check-ins and coordination for patients with multiple chronic conditions. A Certified Case Manager holds a national board certification and may work across many settings, not only chronic disease management. A nurse can hold one role, both, or neither certification while doing similar work.
Is a CCM the same as a general case management nurse?+
Not necessarily. A case management nurse may or may not be CCM-certified. The CCM credential is a national board certification that signals additional exam-validated training; many RNs perform case management work without it.
What's the difference between utilization review, care coordination, and case management?+
Utilization review nurses focus on evaluating medical necessity, length of stay, and level-of-care decisions for payers or hospitals. Care coordination nurses focus on connecting patients to services across settings. Case managers, including CCMs, typically combine both functions for a caseload of patients over time.
Do CCM nurses work directly with patients?+
Yes — by phone, in person, or via telehealth. They build long-term relationships with high-risk or chronically ill patients and serve as their guide through the healthcare system.
How do I find a CCM or chronic care management nurse?+
Use the search above, or browse by state, setting (hospital, payer, workers' comp, home health), or certification. Many work for insurance plans, primary care practices, or hospital systems and can be requested through your benefits or care team.
