FCM? and the location. States differ as well as cities/counties etc... within a state differ. A ballpark figure would be 70-85K annually but then again a lot factors into that including experience and certifications. Sorry I could not be more helpful. Good luck and keep us updated.

Oct 30, 2013 I live in FL, and we do telephonic disease case management, I started a year ago at $59K (no experience), and am now up to $61K, however it is salary and i do sometimes work more than 40hrs a week too. Love the job, and it's not bad at all for here..most hospital RN's around these parts only make $40-50K per year!
mclennan, BSN, RN 684 Posts Specializes in CCM, PHN. Has 8 years experience. Oct 30, 2013 I'm in L.A. and make 80K. I'm salaried at 40 hrs/wk. Keep in mind L.A. is expensive, and I have 7 years experience, BSN, PHN & 3 ANCC board certifications. I could make more $ but chose to work for a smaller, less stressful organization. I do primary TCM & some disease management.

Hope this helps.Oh, that's surely true. When I did field case management I made enough on mileage reimbursement alone to make the payments on my car, plus gas and routine maintenance. Nothing like a free car. And I got to keep it. :) And good think I liked it, too, because there were days that breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all road meals. The KFC plastic bags make good bibs. Nothing like a day that sees you unable to schedule appointments any better than this: Boston, Hyannis, Worcester, Hyannis, Boston. Oy.

I have a towel bib that a LTC nurse gave to me, used it all of the time in home care. My truck is covered with coffee spills that won't come out, I frequently find my missing silverware under the passenger seat. I had a tough home care gig where I went from the Sagamore bridge to Waltham, Brockton, Middleboro, Taunton in a day. In a 5 speed stick shift with a crappy clutch, LOL.

It took me over an hour to get from Cambridge to Mattapan one day last week and it's only 12 miles. I can't imagine getting all my work done driving miles like that.

(Nowadays I think I'd just dictate them via my headset into my iPhone Evernote app and format them later). Did a lot of my telephonic follow-up calls, too. Ah, the good old days. No more. I did love listening to NPR-- I learned more about interviewing from Terri Gross in Fresh Air than I ever did in any seminar.
