Duties Description As an Intensive Case Manager, you would provide care and services in the community to targeted clients with severe and persistent mental illness. You would link, coordinate, and purchase psychiatric as well as other services and supports, some of which are non-traditional, to a small caseload of culturally diverse clients. This support is required on a 24-hour, on-call basis. You would work primarily in the community in which the client resides, not in an office environment.
Notes: You must be eligible and maintain eligibility for full and unconditional participation in the Medicaid and Medicare programs. If you receive an appointment, your continued employment will depend on maintaining eligibility. Failure to do so may result in the termination of your appointment.
If appointed you may be required to become an enrolled Medicare provider; obtain and provide to your employer a National Provider Identifier (NPI) number issued by the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES); and otherwise actively participate to the degree necessary to allow for your services to be billed through Medicare and Medicaid. If you are appointed and you lose the ability to bill through Medicare and Medicaid, you may be terminated from your employment.
