The Six CCM Knowledge Domains

CCM Knowledge Domains (Updated June 2025)

The knowledge domains are like a blueprint of the CCM Exam. It tells us the six major areas we will be tested on. Each of the six major domains has multiple sub-domains, giving us more specifics of what will be covered under each domain.

Determining What is Tested

Every 5 years the CCMC conducts a research study known as the Role and Function Study. The data from this study identifies the essential activities performed by case managers, as well as the knowledge required to support the competent performance of this work. This information is then used to determine the knowledge domains for the CCM Exam.
