I am an insurance case manager, coming from a background of acute care nursing, labor/delivery and then hospice case management. I will tell you; while i am not providing bedside care, I am still providing care to the patients. In the form of advocacy, information, support, guidance etc. What I have found throughout my career transitions between 'specialties' is that: while there are many differences from area to area, there are also many commonalities or threads that tie all these pieces back together on several levels. Yes your HH CM experience will lend towards the qualifications required for CM certification! I just passed my test last month :)
