Role Description
Ready to be the difference between a confusing diagnosis and a clear path forward?
When someone gets a diagnosis that turns their world upside down, they need more than a claim number β they need a person who can guide them through it. As a Case Manager RN, you're that person: the clinical expert who assesses the whole picture, builds a real treatment plan, and stays connected with patients, providers, and families through every step of care. Your work directly shapes whether a member gets the right care at the right time, and whether costs stay manageable for the plans and employers who depend on us. This isn't administrative case tracking β it's clinical judgment applied to real people navigating some of the hardest moments of their lives. The outcomes you drive, case by case, are what make cost-effective, high-quality healthcare possible at scale.

Assess the whole patient:
-
Contact patients directly and complete thorough assessments covering physical, psychosocial, emotional, spiritual, environmental, and financial needs to build a full clinical picture.

Build individualized treatment plans:

Develop treatment plans for standard and catastrophic cases in collaboration with patients, caregivers, community resources, and multi-disciplinary providers, setting clear short- and long-term goals.
-
Track outcomes and adjust course:

-
Stay connected across the care team:
-
Maintain ongoing contact with patients, families, providers, employers, and the broader care team throughout the full continuum of care.
-
Advocate for the patient:
-
Facilitate access to quality care, help reduce overall costs, and provide direct emotional support and guidance to patients and families navigating difficult diagnoses.
-
Drive cost management strategies:
-
Negotiate and implement cost management approaches that improve outcomes, then reflect that impact in monthly case management reviews and cost avoidance reports.
-
Perform utilization review:
-
Conduct utilization review for assigned members to ensure care aligns with clinical need and plan guidelines.
-
Connect members to wellness resources:
-
Evaluate patient needs and make referrals into wellness programs when appropriate.
