Care Manager Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a care manager in Florida?
Most care manager roles in Florida require either an active Florida RN license issued by the Florida Board of Nursing or an LCSW license issued by the Florida Board of Clinical Social Work, along with a bachelor's degree in a relevant health field. Many employers also expect the Certified Case Manager (CCM) credential. Candidates without a CCM can often qualify by completing the required supervised practice hours and sitting for the exam through the Commission for Case Manager Certification.
Which companies hire care managers in Florida?
Employers hiring care managers in Florida right now include Independent Living Systems, Orlando Health, and IBIS Healthcare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's large Medicaid managed care market and its substantial Medicare Advantage enrollment mean that major insurers and integrated health systems consistently maintain some of the highest care manager headcounts in the state.
Which Florida cities have the most care manager jobs?
Tampa, Orlando, and Miami have the most care manager openings in Florida. Miami leads due to its large managed care and Medicaid plan operations serving a dense, multilingual population, while Tampa and Orlando generate consistent demand through their major hospital systems and regional insurance headquarters that coordinate care across broad suburban service areas.
Are there remote care manager jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they depend on the setting. About 31% of care manager openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting that a meaningful share of care management work is telephonic or documentation-based rather than hands-on. Telephonic utilization review and Medicaid population health roles are the most consistently remote, while hospital-based and field case management positions generally require on-site or in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a care manager in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a care coordinator or patient navigator role first, as Florida health systems including AdventHealth and HCA Florida regularly post these positions for candidates with a nursing or social work degree but limited case management hours. Community health worker roles at Florida's Medicaid managed care plans also serve as a common bridge. Earning your CCM eligibility hours in any direct patient-contact role and pursuing a Florida RN or LCSW license makes a candidate substantially more competitive for the next step up.
Where can I find and apply to care manager jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to care manager jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings from employers actively hiring now. Search the listings, find the roles that match your experience and location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
