Reimbursement Expenses for CM's who work at home.

[paco0606]

Hello. These questions are directed to CM's who solely work at home, not working in a facility. I have a few questions regarding reimbursement expenses, since I am considering taking a work at home CM position.

1. Are you paid full mileage from your home office to the client's home/dr's appt and return home trip?

2. Does it matter whether you see one client in a day or more than one in regards to getting sufficient and ample mileage reimbursement?

3. If you travel to visit a client at their home or at doctor's appt and they are a "no show", are you still covered for your mileage & travel expenses?

4. Are you reimbursed for your tolls and parking?

5. Are you reimbursed for your more costly office supplies that you incur monthly (ink cartridges, stamps, paper)?

6. Are you reimbursed for your monthly Internet service?

7. Assuming the company gives you a cell phone, if not are you reimbursed for any calls on your personal cell that may incur while traveling and you need to contact a client to confirm a visit while on route etc..?

Appreciate any info! Thank you.

Thank you for this information! Very helpful. I have been seeing on some posts that working as a field case manager can result in 50+ hours weekly. Is this the case in your experience? I am looking at workman's comp field management. Thank you!

I work exclusively from home, and am paid for my internet service, $40 a month. It is exclusively telephonic.

I am interviewing this week for a Telephonic CM job that will transition to a home-based position. Would you be willing to share pros and cons of home telephonic CM? Thanks!
