I recently wrote about RN Case Manager jobs, and in a follow-up blog about this hot healthcare career, suggested that interested applicants should look to for health insurance companies, medical insurance companies and HMOs for job openings. Andrew Glover sent me a note that promises even more career opportunities for RNs interested in case management careers:
"Lisa,
I just came across your article and weblog on opportunities for nurses to get into case management positions with health insurance companies. There is also a need for these professionals in the property/casualty insurance industry.
Most property/casualty insurers either contract with or keep a staff of nurses or even doctors to review medical records. Let's face it, the average claim adjuster usually doesn't have their degree of medical knowledge. As a former liability adjuster, I can attest to the value of having a competent medical person who was available to help me interpret the reams of medical reports I had to read when evaluating claims."
Makes sense! I did a quick check online and found that most major property and casualty insurance companies are hiring qualified nurses for case management jobs. So I'll modify my earlier post now and say if you're interested in a career in RN case management, look at insurance companies- any kind of insurance company- to see if they have a place for you.
Talk back with a writer- tell Lisa Nichols about your experiences working in RN Case Management and submit your news, tips and story ideas to the insurance blog.
