Hello everyone
please can anyone share their experience working as a case manager for Molina. Do you see patients at home or call them on the phone. How’s the work environment. How does the salary compare to blue cross or Aetna

I was a case manager for molina. I worked in the Duals department (medicare/medicaid eligible members). For the first 6 months i worked in the office..then was offered to work from home and i did that for 2 years. Loved it! Left becauee i wanted to get back to bedside care. I barely went out to peoples homes but when i did it was because a certain process of the job required it, the member requested it or i just felt i needed to lay eyes in the member. But mostly everything we did was ober the phone. From assessments, to checking and verifying claims, follow ups after ED visits and inpatient stays, speaking with PCPs and other physicians. 90% of the time, in my department, i was at home. The pay was decent. In my department a case manager could start anywhere from $62,000-$74,000 depending on experience. I really enjoyed no weekends or holidays and the rwgular old mon-fri schedule. The job did get boring at times. But for the most part i did like it.
I dont know too much about Aetna, except we did lose some case managers to that particular competitor. Aetna does pay sognificantly more than Molina from what i heard, but Aetna also micromanages alot more than molina as well. But thats all from what i heard. Can say from personal experience.
Humana is pretty small in this area but i do know with humana most of their positions are work from home for case manages. Cant say the same for molina or aetna.
Good luck to you!
