RN Care Manager, Care Transitions

Avail Health•Rockville, MD

2d•$94,000 - $115,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Avail Health is launching a hospital-based Care Transitions Program supporting Medicare patients with complex medical, behavioral health, and social needs following discharge. The RN Care Manager leads the medical track of that program — serving as the primary clinical point of contact for assigned patients throughout the 30-day TCM episode. Day-to-day you’ll conduct post-discharge outreach, perform clinical assessments, complete medication reconciliation, prepare pre-visit summaries for the NP’s TCM encounter, and coordinate the referrals and services that keep high-risk patients from bouncing back. You’ll work closely with the SW Care Manager, who leads the behavioral health track, collaborating cross-functionally when medical and BH complexity overlap. Most of your work is virtual, with in-person visits when patients require assessment that can’t be done via telehealth. This is a founding team role. You’ll help operationalize workflows, shape clinical protocols, and build a model designed to scale.
