Frequently Asked Questions
Does a CLCP require a prior clinical credential?
Yes. CLCP candidates must hold a qualifying healthcare or rehabilitation credential (such as RN, OT, PT, CRC, or physician) before pursuing the CLCP certification.
How is the life care planning methodology standardized?
Practice standards are published by IALCP and IARP's Life Care Planning Section, with methodology following a consensus approach that integrates treating team recommendations, peer-reviewed duration literature, and geographically matched cost data.
Can a CLCP testify on causation?
Causation opinions are generally provided by physicians. The CLCP projects the cost of care consistent with physician-supported recommendations and does not typically opine on causation.
