I have an upcoming interview for a case mgmt position with a community based company. The job ad states that the CM would "coordinate care to meet needs of medicaid patients". I have no CM experience. The ad only asked that applicants be an RN with primary care experience. I was an LPN for 10 years working part of that time in primary care but just recently graduated and became an RN. What types of questions should I ask in the interview? What should I expect from this type of job?

LPN1997,
This post is probably too late for your interview....sorry! Did it go well and are you still interested in the job?

Re: community based cased management

I work for a Community-based agency as a Case Manager. I assume you have already had your interview... Did you take the job? I love my job, and feel that I make a difference in the lives of the patients I see. I have a large degree of autonomy, which is important to me. Primary care experience is essential to case management, but you it may surprise you how much you will learn as a case manager. A lot of the info that you retained minimally in acute care becomes valuable when you are dealing with a patient on a long term basis. I have learned so much about disease processes and medications since I have been in Case Management.
