Ur Nurse Salaries in the United States

UR nurses are employed in inpatient and outpatient clinical settings, the insurance industry, and managed care companies.

UR nurses at hospitals and home health companies work closely with their UR nurse counterparts at health insurance companies, as well as with the quality improvement team, the social work team, the discharge planning team, and the clinical staff caring for the patient.

UR nurses are investigative by nature, always searching for essential information to help make certain that the patient’s insurer will authorize services.

UR nurses also help insured persons to make informed decisions about their health care by educating them on the benefits and limitations of their Medicare, Medicaid or private health care coverage.

UR nurses employed by third-party payers typically are expected to follow guidelines when reviewing documentation, such as the Milliman Care Guidelines.
