What I'm looking for

I am seeking a remote Utilization Review Nurse role where I can apply my assessment, documentation, and compliance expertise, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and advance utilization and quality outcomes.

I am a Registered Nurse with ten years of clinical experience in psychiatric and acute care nursing, skilled at translating complex patient care into clear, data-driven documentation and ensuring regulatory compliance. I have hands-on experience with utilization review concepts, medical necessity evaluation, InterQual and MCG guidelines, and electronic health records including Epic and Cerner.

Throughout my career I have collaborated with interdisciplinary teams, overseen unit operations as a charge nurse, and supported payer and compliance standards through rigorous chart review and documentation practices. I am seeking to leverage my assessment, documentation, and compliance expertise in a remote Utilization Review Nurse role.
