Take National HFMA Certification Tests for Free*
Chapter Incentive Program for Certification

The HFMA Southern California Chapter would like to encourage its Members to take and pass the National HFMA Certification Examinations.

Why?
• To earn a healthcare professional title granted by an independent nationally recognized professional healthcare financial management organization, HFMA.
• To show your current employer what you have done to improve yourself and your knowledge of healthcare finance and increase your value to your employer.
• To demonstrate to yourself that you can do it.
• To meet our chapter goal of having as many certified members in our chapter as possible.
• To have our national office recognize your professional achievement

What will the Chapter do to encourage and support its members?
• The Chapter will encourage/reward you by reimbursing you for the cost of the exam when you pass the exam or reimburse you for half the cost of the test if you take it but don’t pass - details below.*
• The Chapter will loan you the study guides, which are costly to buy on your own.
• The members of the Chapter Certification Committee will help and coach you on how to take the examinations.
• You can take the examination anytime and anywhere, as long as the time and location are agreed upon between you and your proctor. We have many willing proctors across Southern California to assist you.
• Help is a phone call and/or an e-mail away.

*How will the Chapter me to pass/take the examinations and how much? **
• For each exam passed, $125 check will be sent to you after the Chapter receives notice from National HFMA that you have passed at least one of the exams.
• If you don’t pass, you will be paid half of the exam fee for the first time only. You will be required to have borrowed the study guide prior to the exam for this reimbursement.
• The check will be mailed to you within 30 days of our receipt of your request as long as we have received notification by National of your exam status.
• Your membership status in the SoCal Chapter must be current when you request your incentive reward.
• Each member can receive up to 2 exams for free (Core and a specialty) as both are required to be certified.
