About the Role This is an opportunity to bring your nursing expertise to members who need someone in their corner. As an RN Care Advocate, you work with Carewell members, many of them older adults and Medicare beneficiaries, who are dealing with complex health concerns and a healthcare system that is hard to navigate alone. The role is built around three connected areas: Clinical Assessment & Care Planning — understanding the member's full picture, including conditions, medications, recent care, and the social needs that get in the way. Care Coordination — working with providers, pharmacies, and community partners to close care gaps and keep care moving. Education & Advocacy — helping members understand their care in plain language and speak up for what they need. This is a 1099 contract engagement. You set your own schedule and can work part-time, full-time, or anything in between. All member interactions take place by phone or video.

Care Coordination Coordinate with primary care providers, specialists, pharmacies, DME suppliers, and home health agencies to close care gaps. Support members through care transitions, including follow-up after hospital or emergency department visits. Connect members to community resources for food, transportation, housing, and in-home support.
