Events Industry Council

The Certified Meeting Professional - Healthcare (CMP-HC) is the Events Industry Council subspecialty for professionals who plan compliance-sensitive healthcare and life-sciences meetings. It is a distinct credential from the general CMP: candidates must already hold an active CMP, have 36 months of healthcare meeting management experience, and complete 5 clock hours of CMP-HC professional development. The exam is 100 multiple-choice items (85 scored plus 15 unscored pretest), 2.5 hours, delivered by computer at Prometric, and aligned to the CMP-HC Standards. Fees are $320 for the exam plus a $215 application. Content spans Planning (needs assessment, regulatory compliance such as the Sunshine Act/Open Payments, PhRMA and AdvaMed Codes, fair market value, budgeting, contracts), Implementation (on-site management, HCP meal and spend tracking, CME/CE and vendor compliance), and Evaluation/Audit (reconciliation, transparency reporting, audits, outcomes). This free prep includes 100 research-based practice questions with explanations and an AI tutor.

3Master transfer-of-value capture: which payments and meals to HCPs are reportable under Open Payments and which (for example, meals to nurses or office staff) are not attributed to physicians
4Understand state-specific rules that go beyond federal law, such as gift bans and meal caps (for example, Vermont's prohibition and Minnesota's annual limit)
