Anyone doing disease management with Optum/UnitedHealth Group?

[SWRN84]

Hi....just wondering if anyone is doing disease management with Optum. I was working at home doing disease management through Intellicare, but I, along with quite a few other RN's, was let go in May, due to some contract issues and mass staff reduction. I have been offered a position with Optum for disease management and wanted to network with other nurses who work there.....see what you think, how satisfied you are with your job. I am very excited and seems to be a good place to work. It looks like a very friendly environment. Anxious and excited to get started. :)

not to sound mercenary or anything but what is the approx. pay range (hourly) of telephone/telephonic nursing jobs? is it as good as a hospital or do you see the benefits non-cash-wise (all the benefits of not having to drive to a job on the outside)

just curious.....

I noticed you stated you are back in home care. How did you process that return; did you answer newspaper ads or? Thanks.
