Case management as an LPN

all the case managers i know are RN's. I am sure others can give you more insight. hope your holidays are happy !!

I'm a Worker's Comp liaison and I know of one LPN who is a case manager for a major insurance company. Not sure how she got in the position though...but it does mean that it's possible for an LPN to be a case manager.

I worked for many years as a case manager for a major insurance company. All of the nurses I knew in case management were RNs. That wouldn't mean you couldn't work as one; I think it was just the industry standard. Insurance companies make their own rules as to what qualifications they want.

Depending upon the Nurse Practice Act in the state you are working, an LPN may legally be able to be a case manager. Usually companies will only hire RN's for the positions. I have heard of LPN's being case managers for group homes.
