About The Position
Activate Care is hiring a community-focused Registered Nurse to travel to members’ homes and community settings across Massachusetts to complete in-person health assessments for a managed care health plan’s dually eligible members. The role focuses on conducting timely, accurate assessments and documenting findings for handoff to the health plan’s care management team.
