comprehensive, community-based care coordination for high-need,

ensures person-centered, interdisciplinary support to help members
navigate the healthcare system and improve health outcomes. Working
primarily in person and also remote, the RN Case Manager engages
dialysis patients with complex medical and psychosocial needs—that

patient-centered care plans, integrating dialysis-specific needs.

medication compliance, vascular access care, and early signs of
complications. Collaborate closely with nephrologists, nurse
practitioners, dialysis centers, and interdisciplinary teams to
support optimal renal care. Conduct comprehensive assessments,
incorporating SMART goals and motivational interviewing techniques.
Provide in-person visits at dialysis centers to support member
engagement and reduce barriers to care. Advocate on behalf of
members to ensure timely access to renal treatment, specialty
services, durable medical equipment (DME), medications,
transportation, and other resources. Document all care coordination
encounters and follow-up actions in the electronic health record
(EHR). Track and manage hospitalizations, discharges, missed
appointments, and urgent care visits, especially related to
dialysis complications. Enroll members in the ESRD program and
maintain compliance with all regulatory and programmatic
guidelines. Provide culturally competent, trauma-informed care in
alignment with ESRD goals and population health strategies. Minimum

per state requirements. Proficiency in electronic documentation
systems and Microsoft Office applications. Preferred Skills and
Competencies: Strong knowledge of ESRD, CKD, dialysis modalities,
and vascular access care. Skilled in interdisciplinary
