Certified Evaluation & Management Auditor (CEMA) Certification Exam

Distinguish Yourself as a Certified E/M Auditor

The Certified Evaluation & Management Auditor (CEMA) certification from NAMAS sets you apart as an expert in E/M auditing, demonstrating your ability to deliver precise, compliant, and high-quality audits. This prestigious credential is the industry standard for professionals who want to showcase their advanced proficiency in E/M auditing.

Why Choose the CEMA Certification?

The NAMAS certification process evaluates real-world auditing skills rather than simple memorization. You’ll be tasked with auditing redacted patient encounters in an open-book exam format that mirrors the real-time auditing professionals perform in their daily duties.

• Real-World Focus: The exam tests your ability to analyze and interpret documentation based on auditing principles, weighing high-risk areas more heavily to reflect real-world challenges.
• Multiple Choice Format: All questions are structured around the core skills required for accurate and compliant E/M auditing.
• Proficiency-Based Testing: Subjectivity in auditing is accounted for, with questions weighted according to their compliance and reimbursement impact.

Exam Details

• Literally Auditing: This exam is not just theory—it’s practical. You will audit redacted patient encounters, as you would in real-time auditing scenarios. The open-book format is allowed because auditing in practice involves referencing guidelines and resources to ensure accuracy.
• Online Proctoring: Available 24/7, allowing you to test at your convenience. A webcam is required for the proctored session.
• Single Monitor Requirement: To ensure fairness and compliance, the exam permits the use of only one monitor. Printed resources are recommended for easy reference during the test.
• Passing Score: Achieve a 70% or higher to earn your certification. One complimentary retest is included if needed.
• No BootCamp Requirement: While attending a BootCamp is optional, it is highly recommended for its review of case studies and sample questions.

Maintaining Your Certification

To keep your CEMA credential active:

• Earn 12 CEUs annually, preferably focused on E/M auditing. NAMAS accepts CEUs from other certifications, eliminating the need for separate credits.
• Maintain a NAMAS membership, which includes 12 annual webinars that fulfill CEU requirements.

Elevate your career and stand out as a leader in E/M auditing with the CEMA certification. With flexible testing options and a focus on real-world application, NAMAS makes it easy to take the next step in your professional journey.
