    Dear Employer,
    I am a Nurse with a lot of experience in Telephonic Case Management.
    I have experience in the Hospital, LTAC, and Manage care insurance companies, F
    ield Case Management and Worker Compensation, and Audit Review Specialist.
    I am dedicated to the care of people and making sure they are educated about the
    ir illnesses and Disease. By following physician's orders and educating those
    that needed it on how to care for self care, and giving explanation as to why it
    is all important in maintaining healthy lives.
    I feel good as a Nurse when patients understand and can give me feedback and are
    able to be self directed in their care. In assisting our members I have been ab
    le to go above and beyond what is expected by the company. This is due to my exp
    erience as a CM in the hospital's, LTAC, and Inpatient / Outpatient Case Managem
    ent in Oncology. I been have able to reach out to other resources in the members
    area to assist them with special needs, and I call on their primary physicians
    to discuss the needs of the members and together we setup a plan and work togeth
    er on the plan.
    I've experienced setting up travel to another state for a member to see a specia
    list or researching the best homecare, therapy, extended facilities or working w
    ith the social workers to set up longterm care. I work cohesively with the physi
    cians, the nurses in the facilities, therapists, Physician's assistants and spec
    ialist as a team for each patient because we want to obtain the best outcome.
    In my history I have work and spoken with people and these teams all over the co
    untry, and it is the job of the Case Manager to build this team and bring them t
    ogether in behalf of the patient. I get a since of gratification when this happe
    ns and we have done our job and helped someone that needed us.

    As a Case Manager, I also assist in making sure that the care that's needed is c
    ost effective by using my experience as a Utilization Review Nurse to determine
    if the treatment and specialty meets the UR standards and criteria, and I also d
    iscuss these cases with the Medical Directors.
    I have been a Nurse Auditor for manage care companies such as Blue Cross Blue Sh
    ield, Review Works, Great Lakes Health Plan ,and HEDIS for multiple companies. I
    thoroughly enjoy the work of fact finding, details and discovery. I would docum
    ent and summarize the findings and send them to the Medical Directors. Hedis is
    done for NCQA to measure the performance on important dimensions of care and ser
    vices.
    I feel that I would be an asset to any HealthCare Management Company.

    Career Highlights:
    Karmonas Cancer Institute of Michigan
    I initiated and put in place a process for Karmonas outpatient ambulatory clinic
    s to move more efficiently and effectively in identifying the needs of patients
    and complete the referral process for the patients by moving them expeditiously
    to the next level of care and met with the team in each clinic to train and expl
    ained the process to them. I monitored the process until the staff became effici
    ent in applying the process. I was given accolades for this protocol in the form
    of a letter of recommendation.
    As a case manager I also pull and review charts for medical necessity in medica
    l records for retro reviews to assist with Appeals or Retro Authorizations.
    BCBS Recovery Department- worked Contingent as a RN Review Specialist
    Worked with Medical Directors, Attorneys and the Field RN Reviewers that have bo
    xes of charts sent to the department I worked in to continue the Audit of the me
    dical information and set the amount owe from services not bill correctly or not
    documented. If services documented or not documented did not match the billing
    I assisted in recovering the amount over paid by comparing the amount to the set
    schedule fee table for the state where services were rendered.
    I would set up meetings for the providers and their attorneys to come in with th
    eir documentation and meet with our Medical Directors and the company Attorneys
    as well as with myself and the Field RN Review Specialist.
    After reviewing all documentation and explanations we would either come to an ag
    reement or proceed to court to pursue monetary recovery. Very enlightening exper
    ience!
    I have a very strong history with telephonic case management and utilization rev
    iew with the State of Michigan for Medicaid Manage Care. I was trained to follow
    state guidelines with Interqual and Millman and Roberts.
    Traveler's RN Telephonic Worker's Compensation Case Manager
    Sent to Florida for a week in the Traveler's Building for training.
    It was good coverage of WC procedures, state laws.
    Training consists of practices in individual teams on how to handle cases. Each
    team given dummy cases with scenario's to answer questions and do a presentatio
    n.
    We had excellent trainers and I enjoyed the training it was very thorough, they
    made it comfortable and it was easy to follow, it was as though it was second n
    ature to them, and we learn and covered quite a bit.
    Training for applications use for WC calls and documentation were done in a com
    puter classroom.
    This training made me a good WC Case Manager.
    Michigan Peer Review Organization works directly with the State of Michigan.
    I did telephonic Utilization Review with strict criteria. Set up case meetings f
    or the Medical Directors with the providers that either wanted discussion on cas
    es or challenged the MD's decisions.
    I researched the cases to provide information of medical criteria for the Medica
    l Directors.
    I reviewed charts for information that did or did not meet criteria and discuss
    ed the case criteria with the medical directors and provided a written summary.
    I retro reviewed charts for Appeals and sent Decision and Determination letters
    to the providers.
    I have been a Psychiatric Nurse for Northville State Hospital, Michigan Osteopat
    hic Medical Center and a Psychiatric Field Nurse Case Manager for the county of
    Oakland.
    I have been a Supervisor, Assistant Director and a Director of Nursing in skill
    care facilities and managed up to a 100 personnel.
