• Travel Requirements: Regular in-person home visits are required, averaging 35-40 visits per quarter within an average 30-mile radius of Waynesville, NC. The majority of visits take place in private residences, with occasional trips to medical facilities.
• Scheduling & Autonomy: Case Managers have flexibility in setting their travel schedules, coordinating directly with patients while ensuring all required visits and documentation are completed.
• Meetings & Collaboration: Employees must attend periodic in-person team meetings and supervisory meetings as scheduled.
• Personal Vehicle Use: Case Managers must use their personal vehicle for travel, with mileage reimbursement provided for work-related trips.
• Work Environment Considerations: Travel includes rural locations, which may involve unpredictable home environments and varying road conditions.

This hybrid structure provides flexibility while ensuring effective patient care, team collaboration, and compliance with case management responsibilities.
