CRMA Certification Maintenance

Maintaining your credential demonstrates an ongoing commitment to professional growth and excellence in reimbursement and market access. To maintain your credential, you must earn 30 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) during each 2-year maintenance cycle. An active RAMPSociety® membership is required for CEU maintenance.

CEUs may be earned through a variety of educational activities, including courses, conferences, webinars, workshops, and other qualifying learning experiences. One hour of qualifying education equals one CEU. Learning activities completed through RAMPSociety or other organizations are acceptable, provided they are relevant to the profession and meet established CEU requirements.

Your Learning Dashboard makes it easy to manage your continuing education activities. There, you can track completed coursework, view transcripts, upload CEU documentation from external providers, monitor your progress toward renewal requirements, and access other helpful credential management tools.

RAMPSociety® is committed to providing flexible learning opportunities that support your continued professional development and lifelong learning.
