Role Overview:

This community-focused Registered Nurse (RN) will travel to members' homes across Massachusetts to complete in-person health assessments for a managed care health plan's dually eligible members.

• Maintain High Quality & Timely Submissions: Submit complete documentation within 48 hours of each assessment, consistently meeting health plan quality standards and resolving any audit or review findings within two business days.
• Uphold Safety & Mandated Reporting Standards: Follow field-safety guidelines during independent home visits, escalate clinical or safety concerns appropriately, and adhere to state mandated reporter laws for abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
• Ensure Regulatory & Compliance Alignment: Adhere strictly to HIPAA privacy rules, NCQA standards, and applicable regulatory requirements while completing all ongoing mandatory training to maintain platform access.
