Non-Clinical Case Manager

Paragone Solutions is seeking a Non-Clinical Case Manager to support medical readiness and deployment efforts for the Kansas Army National Guard. This role focuses on maintaining the individual medical and dental readiness of ARNG personnel.

The Case Manager will collaborate closely with the Care Coordinator, who provides non-clinical administrative support. Together, they will conduct weekly reviews of assigned cases to ensure that all aspects of the case management process-assessment, planning, implementation, coordination, monitoring, and evaluation-are effectively addressing the health and human service needs of soldiers.

This position requires expertise in applying specialized knowledge and skills to coordinate and manage care, provide guidance, and promote health education for individuals experiencing changes in their normal health processes or requiring support in maintaining wellness and preventing illness, injury, or disability.

Responsibilities - The Case Manager will :

• Track the medical status of all assigned Soldiers from the identification of the non-deployable condition (T3, T4, P3 or P4 profiles) to its final determination - the Soldier is deployable, the Soldier enters the Integrated Disability Evaluation System, or when he or she is administratively separated from the military.
• Read, understand and execute DoD, DA, NG and KSARNG regulations and policies through the application of duties.
• Demonstrate a knowledge and proficiency in the use of several DOD web-based electronic data systems; (e.g. Medical Operational Data System (MODS) and Medical Electronic Data for Care History and Readiness Tracking (MEDCHART), MEDPROS Web Data Entry (MWDE)).

• Document cases in the eCase module of MEDCHART within one business day of notification of appointment, lab results, or action related to the treatment plan.
• Coordinate with SMs who have LOD and non-LOD injuries or illness to ensure that the care is property managed, minimizing non-deployable status.
• Initiate, process and track medical board cases through the Disability Evaluation System (DES) or Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES).
• Maintain SM medical records in accordance with Army Regulation (AR) 40-66, The Privacy Act of 1974 and HIPAA standards and guidelines.
