Pay rate for RN case managers?

Does anyone have an idea of the pay for RN case managers in the Northeast esp. Massachusetts? I have applied for this position, have experience as Home Health CM, now I am looking at insurance company Case management, scheduled to take CCM in December. Just a ballpark amount will do. Thanks in advance.[/quote']

It really depends where you live. Although the base is in the low 60s, You can make more through production incentives and mileage. Hope this helps.

Thank you palee51. I am just south of Boston, Massachusetts.

I did comp field case mgmt in MA for years. Depends on who you work for. Want to PM me?

I've seen ads on Craigslist for Insurance companies in the Boston area (Watertown and Quincy) with salaries in the 75-90,000 range.

It depends on what type of Case management, onsite TCM? 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.

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!

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.

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.

That is one special commute!!! 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.

That sounds miserable. 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.

I used to dictate my reports into a little microcassette thingie, and bill for drive time, mileage, AND the report. (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.
