Case Manager, LTSS : ILLINOIS
About the position
Molina Healthcare Services (HCS) is seeking a dedicated Nurse or Social Work Case Manager to join our team in Illinois. This remote-based position requires the candidate to live in Illinois and travel within specific counties, including Williamson, Alexander, Union, Johnson, Pope, Massac, Pulaski, Hardin, Jackson, Saline, and Gallatin. The role involves working closely with members, providers, and multidisciplinary teams to assess, facilitate, plan, and coordinate integrated care delivery across various services, including behavioral health and long-term care for members with high needs. The Case Manager will ensure that patients progress toward desired outcomes with quality care that is both medically appropriate and cost-effective, based on the severity of illness and the site of service. In this fast-paced environment, the Case Manager will be responsible for completing face-to-face comprehensive assessments of members, facilitating waiver enrollment processes, and developing and implementing case management plans in collaboration with members, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. Ongoing monitoring of care plans is essential to evaluate effectiveness, document interventions, and suggest necessary changes.

The Case Manager will utilize motivational interviewing techniques to educate and support members, assess barriers to care, and provide necessary care coordination. Candidates must possess excellent computer skills and attention to detail, as the role requires multitasking between systems and maintaining accurate contact notes. A clean DMV driving record, proof of auto insurance, and reliable transportation are mandatory, as the position requires 50-75% travel for member visits. The successful candidate will have a strong background in case management, particularly with individuals with disabilities or chronic conditions, and will be committed to enhancing the continuity of care for Molina members.
