Position Summary:

  • Facilitates access to care, taking into consideration the member's culture, language, transportation, housing, and financial condition that may impact health, using the MBG, medical payment policies, and community resources appropriately

  • Health Care Services will invest in reasonable training in UM/CM so as to assist a registered nurse who has the appropriate aptitude to achieve proficiency in this field of nursing. This serves the dual purposes of passing the advanced skills of current UHA professionals to new nurses AND to cultivate fresh insights and energies for the company.
