Specialties Case Management

Published

Hope I am posting in the right place....I am having my final interview for an RN disability CM/ consultant position with a large insurance co pa y. I've never donetbis before, but I did well with my case studies and passed my first in person interview. The position entails working with a team, especially claim specialists to review STD cases from a medical POV and give suggestions regarding return to work, what tests, labs so on so forth are needed to make a determinations Dow ork restrictions.This is a biggie interview and one part will be with the medical director.Any hints on what I should know regarding STD? How can I impress!0? I've been researching. This isn't a utilization management position. They also know I'm. New to the industry. Are there any terms someone might be able to help with with so perhaps I can impress a little?I really want this job!

Mom, keep trying. I had interviews with multiple places too before I landed where I am. I saw your posts in the home health forum, you poor thing, sounds like ur rocking a crazy case load. I would keep applying to whatever interests you, eventually it all works out. I work hospice triage on the weekends, it's pretty low stress, is something like that a possibility instead of case management?

Do you enjoy doing case management and hospice? I am currently working as a home health Nurse with a very short staffed company, recently I (fingers crossed) interviewed with a company to start as a case manager. If I get the job I would like to still work part time as home health so I can still do some hands on care and not abandon the company I work for. Any advice? You feel this is doable?

Honestly, I hate case management in HH. Sorry. But it seems different at your company. We are also their field nurse. Case managers do EVERYTHING in my company. I'm trying to get into realy case management.

I'm sure case management in HH is decent if you are not also the nurse in the field.

Good luck!

Oh no! Currently I'm strictly home health, RN. With some supervision. I recently applied for a "real" case management job through a completely separate company! I agree home health case management is the pits! That's why I'm hoping it pans out with this company. I was just want to still do home health part time to keep skills up to dat

Part time home health I could do without case management. Just seeing patients for visits would be fine. Case managing in home health is awful. Especially with my problem-child caseload.

I wish you the best of luck, I long to be a real case manager!
