How much bedside experience to do utilization review/case management?

Hi everyone!

I had a nurse friend ask me recently how much experience do you need in bedside nursing before you can start doing utilization review/case management (for an insurance company for example). I told her I had no idea, but thought i'd ask in a post on here.

anyone know?
There are UR people who have no medical background at all. CM? Not sure, but looking on specific insurance company sites (if they have job info) may help....

on average i think its a minimum of 2 to 3 years
