Anyone ever hear of telecommuting jobs as case managers for labor and delivery/maternity? I would love to do something like that.

I never saw much case management going on in L&D anyway, as the UR component was pretty negligible in most deliveries and there were very few long-term admissions or complicated postpartum courses requiring arrangements for discharge. Any CM that really needed doing was easy for the regular M/S case managers to pick up on an episodic basis.

This sounds like a real pipe dream. :)

I agree with GrnTea... Maternity CMs are in-house. Complicated discharges are taken care of by them along with an IDT that is also in-house... UR is not complicated for this population with a few exceptions.... When the patient has complications, he/she is transferred to the ICU (adults) or NICU (babies) or a Med surge (adults), where his/her case is also taken care of in-house.

Insurance companies hire CMs , where some are able to work from home. Check out threads on that topic to get some ideas of employers. Good luck.
