Re: Starting own Case Managment Business related to Geriatrics and Diabetes
Hello,
What I have learned along the way over the last year is that most geriatric case management is out of pocket. I have been doing assessments for long term care insurance companies for about 7 months and have learned from some clients that there insurance does pay for some visits (1-6) for help with a crisis, outside care needed or even for placement elsewhere.
I took the Geriatric Care manger program from Kaplan University on-line and found it very helpful in building the business and care for seniors info. I've been studying the certain web sites and communicating with a few folks that have their own nursing businesses and have learned much through all of this. I also know case managers from working in a facility and they have been a great resource.
Here in Montana it seems the going rate is around $50.00 and some present businesses offer packages other just do hourly. Not sure how I will set that up but I may charge more than $50.00.
Hope this helps!
