The RN UM Team Lead makes sure that doesn't happen — coaching reviewers to apply medical-necessity criteria consistently, catching risk before it becomes a backlog, and keeping documentation audit-ready so decisions hold up under scrutiny. This isn't a background role: it's the difference between a member getting a timely answer and getting stuck in a queue. You're the person providers and internal teams turn to when a case gets complicated and needs a clear path forward. When your team runs tight, members get faster answers, providers get fewer headaches, and the business stays compliant — that's the job.Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM Pacific Time, with rotating Saturday coverage as required.What You'll Actually Do
Set daily direction for your UM team: Establish priorities, reinforce expectations, and build a culture where clinical quality and accountability are the norm, not the exception.
Coach reviewers on criteria application: Guide consistent use of medical-necessity criteria, medical policy, and benefit language, and step in with real-time answers when interpretations vary.
Monitor workflow health daily: Track intake volume, aging cases, and turnaround risk; flag barriers to the UM Manager with a recommendation attached, not just a problem.
Audit for documentation quality: Review reviewer work for completeness and audit readiness, then coach for sharper clinical rationale and tighter regulatory timeliness.
Build reviewer capability: Run shadowing plans, job aids, and competency check-ins for new and existing staff; identify training gaps and propose solutions before they become bigger problems.
Resolve cross-team barriers: Partner with providers, facilities, Case Management, Appeals, and Provider Relations to clear roadblocks and keep determinations moving.
Protect member and company data: Maintain HIPAA compliance and company privacy standards, and model the ethical decision-making you expect from your team.
Drive training completion: Complete required training and attestations on time, and keep your team on track to do the same.
