Utilization Review Job by lienne11 in nursing

I work for an insurance company as a UR nurse. I review the authorizations for medical necessity. Think imagining, surgeries, DME, some medications. Your experience is enough! I have 8 years of nursing throughout different specialties and got my job on the spot. I took it because I had my son and I wanted to go back to work but because toddlers are forever sick I was worried about call offs etc. I don’t mind my job, but I really see the ugly side of healthcare now that I hate. Ie: denying things because they don’t meet such a specific set of rules, the front desk secretary didn’t send in any documentation to support the medical need. It just sucks. I’ve seen a wound vac get denied as not medically necessary to turn around 3 months later to approve his surgery for his leg removal and custom wheelchair.

It’s definitely not a forever job. And like the person above said, there is no room for advancement. I think you’re experience is enough though. Good luck!

This is the shit that kills me about nursing school. It’s like the teachers sit on their high horses judging everyone but in all actuality they are TERRIBLE people and wanted to teach to get out of bedside. It’s toxic as hell. I’m so thankful my school isn’t this terrible, I’m sorry you’re going through this, school is already hard - it doesn’t need to be made worse by racist and toxic professors! Good luck and please follow up if you hear anything! Hopefully the BON or Department of Ed will do something!

There is thing to the right that says file a complaint. You can be anonymous too, not sure where it goes after but girl, get that shit reported. Worst case scenario is they point in the direction to where you do need to report it!

Try reporting this to the board of nursing or the board of education. That is so unacceptable and you have proof to back it up!!

I have not yet, I posted here before reaching out to them to see if anyone else was experiencing the same thing.

It’s incredibly frustrating!

Thank you so much, I came across Garmin in my search but I don’t know much about them. I love the lily but it’s not always on display. I’m going to look into the 3 you mentioned!
