Can someone tell me how hard it is for a nurse to work for an insurance company?
What I would like to know is: Is it very hard to work for the insurance companies that have a nurse on call for their 24 hour nurse line. I have alot of nursing experience and would like to find something in this line of work. Any information on this will be greatly appreciated.
Nurses are a big plus in the workers compensation field. They are in such high demand. Plus you don't have to work 12 hour shifts or on call.
You could try being a field base case nurse manager (FBCM) they are normally around work comp claimant's who are in serious injury and can get all the information to the adjuster faster and tell the adjuster what is best.
You could be a nurse case manager (NCM) they normally call the injured workers that are hurt and keep the adjuster updated on each case monthly.
You can also be a company contact. I've talked to many former nurses who now are part of big companies. They are in charge of 100's of employees and keep contact with adjuster and have authority over alot of things that HR can't get involved unless they plan on firing. Your working for a big company but you'll over see alot of states depending on the company.
Try contacting some of these companies that I've done business. At least you can get started at exploring the option.
Corvel, Concentra, Coventry, these are some I know off the top of my head.
Good luck

actually, nurses are in demand (as well as doctors) at insurance companies.. at my job, we use them in underwriting, a 24 hour nurse line, pre authorizations, medical management, appeals, tons of things.

You need to explore other options in the insurance companies such as those that do medical review (review medical records), Associate health nurse (basically a nurse for associates that become sick,) and also Case management (assists hospitals and doctors with getting approval for extuenating circumstances for patients )

I don't know of any insurance companies that do this, except workers comp case managers - but most medical practices have a 24 hour nursing line.

Contact the Employment Dept of insurance companies. These jobs usually do not pay as much as floor nursing but offer less stress and better working conditions, so they are often hight sought after by older experienced nurses.
