Hi Erin,
I too work for Genex!! I love it! I do some in-house case management, but mostly Utilization Review. When I have to miss going to the office, it is no problem... I can work from home.
And you are absolutely right... Genex is a great company to work for.

Case Management is going to be a wide-opem field a more agencies are realizing its value. I work for a non-profit that has been tasked by our state to manage Medicaid patients. I love it. I worked for a MCO before I moved here, doing the same thing. CMS is now pushing to put Medicare beneficiaries in Managed Care /Case management - they really need it. We are going to start phasing in the Medicare population and will have our hands full. A lot of the major insurance companies also have Medicaid MCOs in some states. Your health department should have some sort of Medicaid Coordinator who does Case Management. Lots of opportunities - just stay away from Disease Management.
