Sneak peek: The 2010 case management salary survey results are in
Case Management Weekly, April 7, 2010
Despite the struggling economy, more than half of survey respondents (62%) reported that they received a raise in the past 12 months—nearly half (49%) indicated the raise ranged between 3% and 4%. The results also reveal that 55% of case managers work more than the traditional 40-hour workweek; 41% work between 31 and 40 hours weekly.
“That is good news,” says Karen Zander, RN, MS, CMAC, FAAN, principal and co-owner of The Center for Case Management, Inc., in Wellesley, MA. “I was pleased that employers understand that it’s hard to be a part-time case manager, scheduled now and then,” says Zander.
Nearly 67% of case managers have at least a bachelor’s degree, which Zander says is good news.
Education level says much about how an individual practices case management, says Zander. “Someone with a bachelor’s degree has good clinical thinking, research skills, and self-motivation to seek information for the issues that impact the practice of case management,” she explains.
The highest number of respondents with a bachelor’s degree earns $50,001–$60,000, which is the same for case managers with an associate’s degree. However, case managers with a bachelor’s degree also typically earn salaries in the $60,001–$70,000 and $70,001–$80,000 ranges, whereas those salaries are not as typical for those with associate’s degrees.
