Certified Nurse Life Care Planner (CNLCP) is a national certification, not a Montana license. How a Montana court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the Montana venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve Montana.
The CNLCP certifies registered nurses in life care planning grounded in the nursing process: assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Nurse life care planners bring hands-on clinical knowledge of medications, supplies, skilled care, and daily care routines to the documentation of future needs, frequencies, and costs.
Montana civil claims are tried in the District Courts, and medical malpractice claims are reviewed by the Montana Medical Legal Panel before suit. Disputed workers' compensation claims are decided by the Workers' Compensation Court.
Outside the civil courts, the Montana Department of Labor and Industry, Employment Relations Division is the forum where a plan is most often examined in Montana. KW Life Care Planning CNLCP-credentialed experts apply nationally recognized standards while accounting for Montana's practice environment.
CNLCP-credentialed experts provide testimony in Montana's courts, where expert qualification is determined case by case.
Highest court: Montana Supreme Court. Federal venues: D. Mont..
