About this job
There are so many incredible reasons to choose a career with UnitedHealth Group, but the most important things you need to know are, that in this job, you will:
Visit Medicaid members in their homes and/or other settings, including community centers, hospitals or providers' offices
Provide a complete continuum of quality care through close communication with members via in-person or on-phone interaction
Support members with condition education, medication reviews and connections to resources such as Home Health Aides or Meals on Wheels
Assist members with the transition from a care facility back to their home
This position will cover Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, and Medina counties.
As a Field-Based Case Manager with UnitedHealthcare Community & State, you'll wear many hats, and work in a variety of environments. Sometimes, you'll interact with members leaving the hospital - possibly with new medications or diagnoses.
Or perhaps you'll perform home visits, assisting members with safe, effective transitions from care environments to where they live. You may also act as an intermediary between providers and members - serving in numerous roles, such as educator, evaluator, service coordinator, community resource researcher and more. The result? Fewer hospitalizations, ER visits and costly service gaps; and a less stressed, more effective health care system for us all.
