Behavioral Health Case Manager BlueCare Plus

The BlueCare team at BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee (BCBST) is seeking a Behavioral Health Case Manager to support members enrolled in BlueCare Plus, a Fully Integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (FIDE SNP) designed to improve care for individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid.

In this role, you will manage a mixed caseload consisting of both ongoing members and short-term cases focused on immediate care coordination needs. You will provide comprehensive care coordination and case management for dual-eligible members with complex behavioral health needs while collaborating within an integrated care team that aligns behavioral and physical health services. You will partner closely with members, caregivers, providers, and community resources to ensure seamless, coordinated care, support members in navigating Medicare and Medicaid benefits, and advocate to improve health outcomes, access to care, and overall quality of life. All services are delivered in a fully remote environment supporting members across Tennessee.

To be successful in this role, you will bring prior case management or care coordination experience, with experience working with dual-eligible (Medicare/Medicaid) populations preferred. You should be comfortable managing a diverse caseload with varying levels of acuity and complexity, and demonstrate strong organizational, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The ability to work independently in a fully remote setting, along with excellent communication and relationship-building skills, is essential. You are open to learning and able to be trained to support FIDE SNP members if your direct experience is limited, and you are comfortable managing a consistent caseload with complex needs.
