Specialties Case Management

Published

Specializes in Surgical Specialty Clinic - Ambulatory Care.

Anyone else do this for a living? I currently work part time home health. I like home health and also think my company is pretty fair. I see 6 people a day or 2 admissions. For every 75 miles I drive it counts as a visit. They provide the car, gas maintenance, laptop, and cell phone. What is not so great is that I would never do it full time because I already am having to work 2-3 hours on my days off to keep up with the paper work. Also I work for a religious institution so they don’t cover fertility costs and I really need that coverage.

I had a recruiter with an agency call me regarding this job with BCBS. This would accomplish a couple things for me, the fertility coverage and I eventually want to move to Texas and they have jobs in Texas too so maybe I could eventually transfer.

My concerns are that the job says 4-5 assessments a day and a case load of 75-100 moderate to high risk patients. Is this actually accomplishable in 8 hours or will I really be working 10 hours 5 days a week for salary? The recruiter of course assured me that it is just regular hours, but the recruiter is A) not a nurse and B) intentionally/ or unknowingly vague about some of my questions. I just left a hell job 1.5 years ago where I was salaried and trying to coordinate IV discharges from the hospital for 20-30 people. It was 8am to 7pm M-F despite what I was told in the interview. I now case manage 12 patients and ‘float’ to my co workers patients when they are over booked. I’m in no rush to give up my life again because I feel that kind of stress won’t help me get pregnant. Of course neither will the lack of funding for IVF.

Anyone have any experience with BCBS and this role?
