Pros

Great compensation. No weekends or holidays. Set your own schedule. Good mileage reimbursement. Work from home 50% of the time. Some managers are very reasonable and easy to work with.

Cons

Benefits are really awful. Worst I've ever had at any prior job. Very high deductibles and even pharmacy coverage is poor. Unbelievable for a health insurance company to offer such pathetic coverage to its own employees. Some managers are very unrealistic and difficult to work with. Management seems to have shifted focus in the past 9 months. Used to be very low pressure job, but recently they have become more concerned with meeting "productivity" numbers than providing any kind of meaningful quality of care. Care managers are overloaded with enormous, impossible caseloads and pressured to meet the numbers or expect punishment in the form of more work or even heavier caseload. Much of the daily work involves coordination of services for members, calling physicians, arranging home health or equipment, seeking assistance through various community service organizations. But because the hours of research and phone calls are not technically an in-home visit with the patient, no credit is given for the work at all. Only the "number of actual face to face visits" count, no matter how brief or unproductive. Hours of work that we do before or after leaving the member's house do not count.

Pros

Working from home, that’s about it.

Cons

Micromanaging, forced to help team members while you’re behind on your own caseload. Denied PTO requests, no PTO all summer and no PTO until the end of January 2027 (that’s supposed supposedly when they will be done ramping up with all their new employees.) a bunch of meetings weekly that are pointless. A weekly case conference where they are forcing nurses to present a complex case in front of over 300 people on zoom. Process changes change constantly, there are no job aid or guideline that help you make a Clinical decision but you will get out of it if you do it incorrectly. Save yourself the trouble and apply somewhere else. It is not worth it.
