Remote Case Mgmnt, Should I???

Published

I have applied to WellCare, Anthem and Aetna for a remote case mgmnt position, Aetna has given me a first interview....I am currently case managing hospice patients in home care setting, face 2 face, l like my job and the company I work for, but I can NEVER take time off, I have 28 PTO days and can never use them....was thinking working from home would be a better fit for my family.....but I'm nervous as heck and afraid I may regret my decision if I get to the point of accepting a potential offer. Any feedback from seasoned remote care managers?

I have worked for a managed care organization for over 4 years. I work from home, and I completely love it!!!!

I think it would be hard with little kids in the home , you would need daycare I would think, for your working hours.

Hubby and I are older with grown children, so no problems there.

The only issue I see is that by working in your home, it is hard for family members to just expect you can do xyz for them. It's like, well you are home you can do blah blah blah.

I love my job!!!! For real!!!

Wow, thank you, I have two teenagers, and although they're good boys, I feel like I need to be more of a presence, especially during their school breaks. Is your job salaried? Do you feel like you're adequately compensated for your time? I've read, to be frank, a lot of negative reviews re: this position, appreciate your positive remarks.
