Hospital based disease case management. Different...very different....I am a contracted employee working directly with a company on the NASDAQ contracted to a non-profit hospital.......it can get crazy sometimes......

[Enright]

I did case management (work comp) for an insurance company for 5 years and an additional few years as the RN supervisor of same. I now do case management in a community health setting for state government. I have my rehab certification (CRRN) but have never been required to have the CCM...none of my organizations ever recognized the CCM because you didn't have to be a nurse to take it.

Alison, RN, BS, CCM
Here in TN, working for independent CM company doing primarily WC.

Had the fortune of sitting for the first CCM exam in 5/93......and I passed! lol

Have worked for insurance company for 5 years before I took a break from it all....just recently got back into CM about 8 months ago.

Also have my PI license, which is on hold at the mement due to conflict of interest.

Gotta love it!

I am new here and wanted to say i have enjoyed looking around. I am new to Case Management having just started working in the w/c arena this January. before January I lived in Kansas and worked first as a staff nurse in the hospital where i lived then moved to a larger city and began working as an agency nurse. Now I live in Utah and have entered this new field. So far I love it. Being brand new to this field I look forward to any and all tips ya'll can give me.

Just started Case Mgmt with Home Health one month ago. I will take Certification for Med-Surg in October. (Not required) So I will value any and all hints. So far it seems like a great job and I really love the other nurses. (I also do home visits.)

Have been doing case management for a Medicare HMO since 2000. Going to take the CCM exam on April 26. Wish me luck...ya'll!

Good luck to all who are going to take the CCM exam!! It has changed drastically since I took it so I'm afraid I don't have much advice on what to study. I'm sure HIPPA will be a hot topic.

Do it!

Nice to meet you all :-)
