Care Manager Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a care manager in Pennsylvania?
Most care manager roles in Pennsylvania require either a Pennsylvania RN license issued by the State Board of Nursing or a social work license from the State Board of Social Workers, with an LSW or LCSW being the most common credential for non-clinical tracks. Employers typically expect a bachelor's degree in nursing, social work, or a health-related field, and many prefer candidates who hold or are pursuing the Certified Case Manager credential through the Commission for Case Manager Certification.
Which companies hire care managers in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring care managers in Pennsylvania right now include Lehigh Valley Health Network, UPMC, and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's large integrated health systems and managed care insurers, particularly those administering Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans, account for a significant share of ongoing care manager openings across the state.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most care manager jobs?
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Allentown consistently post the most care manager openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its density of health insurers, hospital systems, and community health organizations, Pittsburgh follows as home to UPMC and Highmark, and Harrisburg draws openings tied to state agency contractors and regional health plans serving the central Pennsylvania population.
Are there remote care manager jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, and they are more common than in many clinical roles because care managers spend a substantial portion of their time on phone and telehealth outreach rather than bedside care. About 40% of care manager openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how broadly managed care plans have adopted virtual care coordination models. Utilization review and telephonic case management positions are the most likely to be fully remote.
How can I get hired as a care manager in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is to start in a care coordinator, patient navigator, or discharge planning role at a Pennsylvania hospital or health plan, where you build the foundational skills that care manager positions require. UPMC, Geisinger, and Independence Blue Cross each run structured onboarding tracks for early-career candidates moving into case management from adjacent clinical or administrative positions. Completing a Pennsylvania-recognized CCM prep course while in an entry role and obtaining your LSW if you come from a social work background gives you a clear advantage when applying for your first full care manager title.
Where can I find and apply to care manager jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to care manager jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current Pennsylvania openings from employers across the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your experience and location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
