8. Case Manager RN — $82K – $108K
Case Manager RNs coordinate care across settings for patients with complex conditions — often chronic disease, transplant recovery, or high-cost claims. The role sits inside insurance companies, employer health programs, ACOs, and hospital-affiliated case management divisions, and remote positions are the majority of new postings.
The Commission for Case Manager Certification administers the CCM credential, which requires two years of qualifying experience and passing an exam. Most employers hire without CCM but strongly prefer it, and many reimburse the exam fee for staff who pursue it in the first two years.
Case Management Society of America salary data and Vivian Health job listings show case manager RN pay of $82K to $108K, with population health and specialty case management (oncology, transplant) at the top of the range. Employer-sponsored programs at large self-insured companies often pay above the payer average.
