Clinical Care Manager (CCM) are RNs who serve as a key member of the UnitedHealthcare Global Emergency Response and Assistance Center Team and utilize evidenced based practice to assess global traveler's medical care needs, treatment plans of healthcare providers and the ability of the local healthcare systems to provide appropriate quality and cost effective care when acute, chronic or catastrophic events occur in countries around the world. CCMs evaluate, recommend and monitor patient status and associated treatment plans to ensure complex medical cases are managed to the highest level of quality and patient safety. CCMs coordinate with appropriate providers and assist in establishing and implementing plans including but not limited to a patient's medical monitoring, return home, and safe evacuation to a location where appropriate care is available when it's determined the care needs cannot be met in the current location.  Services may also include support for travelers into the USA with complex treatment needs, appointment arrangement, receiving facility acceptance, clinical case management, client updates, and discharge planning in support of their return to their home country after care.

CCMs establish a good relationship with the hospital, nurses, doctors, and social workers gaining their trust and respect to facilitate the collection of information and improve the image of the company and patient care. CCMs document all conversations with providers and physicians, medical records review and any patient care related phone call to ensure information is available to all team members for continuity and care management.  The CCM identifies and escalates potentially fraudulent activities identified during the pre-authorization evaluation process.  Complex and high-cost cases are uniquely reported, monitored and supported through the collaboration with all members of the Emergency Response and Assistance Team to include Medical Directors, Global Care Consultants, and Healthcare Intelligence team members to facilitate seamless provision of healthcare services to those we serve.
