MSCC Pre-Certification and Recertification Opportunities

Approved by the International Commission on Health Care Certification (ICHCC) as meeting the educational requirements necessary to sit for the Medicare Set-Aside Consultant-Certified (MSCC) Exam

The Medicare Set-Aside Consultant Certified (MSCC) credential is designed to identify those professionals who work within the Workers’ Compensation or Liability insurance benefit system as either health care professionals, legal representatives, or as insurance claims adjusters, who have completed specific pre-approved training in Medicare Set-Aside Arrangements, and have demonstrated a breadth of knowledge regarding the development and application of the Medicare Set-Aside Arrangement process. Additionally, this credential is designed to express to the consumer that the person holding the MSCC credential has agreed to come under the scrutiny of a certifying review board (ICHCC), to be peer reviewed, and to adhere to a set of standards governing ethics and professional behaviors.

The MSA training program is designed to provide the core essential knowledge components necessary for practice in the area of Medicare Set Aside Arrangements. Completion of all modules and the practicum will provide the 30 hours (maximum) of training specific to Medicare Set Aside Arrangements required to meet the training requirement set forth by the ICHCC to sit for MSCC certification. Please see below or visit the ICHCC web site at www.ichcc.org for additional requirements. Upon completion of the practicum, please contact the ICHCC for submission instructions (804-378-7273).

MSPN Disclaimer: MSPN is approved to provide the training for the MSCC credential. However, ICHCC, as the credentialing organization, determines an individual's eligibility for the credential. Please carefully review the qualifications for the certification prior to registering for training programs.

Recertification Opportunities

The Medicare Set-aside Certified Consultant professional must have his or her MSCC credential renewed every 3 years. To maintain the use of the MSCC professional designation, the MSCC certificant is required to provide proof of 15 CEUS acquired over the certification period. Within the 15 required CEUs, at least 5 must be of ethical practice subject matter. The remaining CEUs can be of course topics related to MSAs or the certificant's area of expertise.

In addition to CEU opportunities throughout the year by attending MSPN's Annual Educational Conference and participating webinars, professionals may earn CEUs by taking individual modules for a fee of $125 (members) or $250 (nonmembers). Upon completion of the module, you will receive a certificate of completion for the appropriate number of approved hours.
