Illinois Licensed Registered Nurse Care Coach - Remote

This is a remote role. The company is looking for passionate, tech savvy ILLINOIS registered nurses to work remotely and serve patients enrolled in Medicare’s Chronic Care Management Program. In this part time role (requires about 20 to 25 hours per week, depending on caseload), an RN Care Coach will be assigned a group of patients that they will be following and calling each month. In these monthly calls the Care Coach will provide education, coordinate care, close preventive care gaps, and coach on strategies for self-management to keep patients out of the hospital.

This Role Requires Precision, Discipline, and Accountability

The Care Manager role is not a step back from bedside nursing — it’s a step into a more complex, structured, and performance-driven environment. To succeed, you must bring more than clinical knowledge:

✅ Excellent documentation skills — Your charting must be complete, timely, and accurate.

✅ Strong time management — Case tasks must be prioritized and closed on schedule.

✅ Ownership of outcomes — Each case is closely tracked for quality, compliance, and effectiveness.

Expectations are high, and performance is regularly reviewed. This is not a role where details can be missed or timelines pushed — we need professionals who take initiative, stay organized, and consistently deliver.

If you’re ready for a challenging, fast-paced environment where your work is held to high standards and makes a real difference, we encourage you to apply.

Benefits

Compensation

Compensation is paid at the rate of $15.00 per initial clinical encounter per patient per month. A clinical encounter occurs after two criteria are met: a patient has a successful clinical call and the patient has 20 minutes or more of time in their chart timer.

• Ex: If in one hour you called and spoke with 2 patients and spent 20 minutes with each of them, your pay for that hour would be $30.00 ($15.00/pt reached x 2).

Paid online training and orientation

$250 Orientation Bonus: To qualify, you must successfully complete at least one patient call. The $250 bonus will be included with your first scheduled contractor payment, approximately 40 days after the end of your start month. No bonus will be paid if you do not successfully complete at least one patient call.

Pay Timing

Your first check will be paid monthly via direct deposit, 40 days after the last day of the month of service. This is due to the time it takes Medicare to process reimbursements. All other checks after the first one will be deposited about 30 days after the last day of the month of service.
