Utilization Management Pay Rates??

I'm hoping someone can provide a little insight on Utilization Management pay rates. I'm currently interviewing for UM positions and want to make sure I'm getting paid appropriately. I can't find consistent information when searching online. I have 13 years experience as an RN but I don't have UM experience. Is anyone currently working in this area who could give advice on salary? Thank you.

    I am from MA. We get paid about 86-92k for UM!

    Hi, did you get the position for the UM you interviewed for? I am also seeking such positions. I would appreciate any tips.

    Thanks!

    Hi Duchess,

    Sorry for the late rely.  I haven't been on the site in awhile.  I interviewed with L.A. Care and received a position in their UM Dept.  At the time of my interview with L.A. Care, I also had an interview pending with Aetna.  Both companies hire without experience.  Negotiate your rate, as long as you know your worth, you should be fine.  I requested $97,000 up front, then did more research.  They offered $98,000 and I requested more based on years of experience and education. (never accept the initial offer with any job)  I requested $106,000.  In the end, I was able to get $101,000 and a $5000 sign on bonus. My co-worker shared he received $90,000.  After a year, I'm now up to $103,000. 

    Altamed also has UM positions, but I don't think they hire without experience.  I initially applied with them, and they responded so quickly with an email stating they were moving on to more qualified applicants.
