Any advantage to allowing insurance company to assign a rn to manage one's ongoing medical care and decisions?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, fewer hassles: Managed care creates obstacles for physicians when they order tests. A nurse case manager may help to expedite getting tests done and referrals approved. She can also answer many questions and help keep you on track with the treatment plan outlined by your doctor.

Yes: If well trained, caring, thoughtful, & beholden to his/her expertise can bring doctor's concerns to insurance company & get case moved along. Unfortunately, as I have observed, such nurses sometimes get fired for not adhering to common insurance company posture of knee-jerk denials and cost savings. In any case the nurse enlarges target for the doctor's advocacy. So yes, get one.
