True. I retired last Oct. Initially, I would wake up with this weird feeling that I was supposed to be doing something, but not sure what. One of my retired friends is so busy! Every day is scheduled...
So, I recently retired in Oct. I’ve been an RN for 44 yrs. I didn’t think I really could retire until I met with my financial guy and found out that it would work. So far, for me, I would say that...

Yes, there are a lot of moving parts to the case manager role. Many of which you have no control over. When I started, my manager told me that it would probably take 2-3 yrs before I would feel...

In my case, I ended up buying a few study guides that really didn’t help much. The best preparation was the actual CCM site. There used to be a section that sort of outlined what you need to know....
I worked in a disease management work at home position for little less than a year. The role wasn’t right for me, but I loved my supervisor, my coworkers, and the company. Very professional. Good...
Wow. Sorry you had that experience. I’ve worked for 2 of the big insurers. One role was as a CM, the other was disease management. Both interviews were a mix of the behavioral event type questions...
I’ve had remote nursing roles for the last 6 years. Different companies, different roles, including 2 of the big insurers. I’ve always been salaried. The company that I work for now just...
So, just some follow up. 23 nurse coworkers furloughed for 12 weeks due to a decrease in our business. Not sure if the new hourly status helped them to zero in on how many positions they would...
I worked for a small hospital as both a staff nurse (mother/baby) and as a case manager. As a CM we were never used to staff clinical units. As a staff nurse in maternity, we did have to float to the...
I did have CM experience. I was working as a CM in a hospital and wanted to work from home for an insurance company. I was able to get it after only 1 yr because my manager had a CCM. Normally, you...
What made the difference for me was getting my CCM. Also, there was someone on this forum aways back who had a great suggestion about tailoring your resume to the job description. In other words, if...
I did a mission trip with the Catholic diocese a few years ago in Guatemala. It was a great experience. I had to cover my airfare and pay $200 for a shared room for the week. Transport and all meals...

What made the difference for me was getting my CCM certification. I was already working as a hospital CM. My 1st remote job was complex CM. I did that for 4 yrs. Then went to a different company and...
I worked as a staff nurse at my facility and CM. In my case, I was hourly for both. Pay was higher in CM in my case. I made more in the long run as a CM because 40 hrs vs
Can anyone offer any insight into AHH? I have a preliminary screening call with a recruiter for a work at home CM telecommuter position. I have seen some info on this company here but it is older....
I did CCM a few years ago and had used a lot of different books that I had purchased. I passed. I felt that I wasted money on some of the books especially the ones with " retired" questions. As I...
At AHH we were required to bill 45 hours of billing a week. It sounds like a lot but if your caseload is busy the billing comes naturally. You bill for things like reports, entering clinical...
I left earlier this year mostly because I wasn't as busy. There was a push to lower caseloads and I found it hard to get my billing. I really liked the company and my supervisor was great. Good
Agree with above. I have had 2 different WAH CM positions and there should be no household noises that might identify you as being in your house. No dog barking, kids crying, etc. Metrics are...
Will you be working for Aetna or American Health Holding? I worked for AHH and training was onsite for 2 weeks in Ohio. My friend worked on the Aetna side and her training was completely at home. Mine...
Another thing about companies to look at. After I was hired for my current WAY position, I was contacted by Medtronic for a case management job. I had sent them my resume earlier. There are a lot of...
