01 /The Framework

Three pillars of appeal expertise.

Built for healthcare professionals charged with defending medically necessary care.

Advocacy

Defend rightful reimbursement. Equip your team to overturn unjust denials with rigorous evidence-based appeals.

Education

Comprehensive courses across medical necessity, clinical validation, and coding. Built by industry experts.

Certification

Earn industry-recognized credentials. Stay current with continuing education and proctored examinations.

02 /The Credentials

Earn one of three AHDAM credentials.

The Core examination is the mandatory foundation test every candidate completes — not a credential itself. Reviewing the free Core Study Guide is optional. Build on it with one or more specialty examinations to demonstrate domain expertise.

CAS-MN

Medical Necessity Specialist

Advanced credential for medical necessity appeal writers and physician advisors.

CAS-CV

Clinical Validation Specialist

Advanced credential for clinical validation appeal writers and physician advisors.

CAS-CD

Coding Appeals Specialist

Advanced credential for inpatient and/or outpatient coding appeal writers.

03 /The Pricing

Transparent pricing. No surprises.

Bundle and save — each additional specialty examination is only $200 when purchased together. Study guides for the Core and every specialty are included free — optional prep, never required to certify.
