Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) · HFMA’s currently linked CSPR course outline, reviewed October 19, 2026; page states content last revised October 2021. HFMA explicitly identifies CSPR as the replacement for Certified Specialist Managed Care (CSMC), whose enrollment closed effective December 2021. The assigned CSMC slug is preserved for this evidenced predecessor-to-successor mapping. CSPR has updated content and is not merely an alternative spelling of CSMC. The public outline gives no numbered examination blueprint, separate examination effective date, or domain percentages.

This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
