Utilization Review Nurse Education and Skills

Before you can work in utilization review, you must complete either an associate degree in nursing (ADN) or a bachelor degree in nursing (BSN), however some employers will prefer a BSN vs. an ADN. Once you pass the NCLEX and receive your RN license, you’ll want to gain clinical experience in direct patient care. You may also want to pursue experience as an RN case manager.

While likely not required for most jobs, specialty certification can increase both your knowledge and also your leverage when it comes time to look for a new utilization review nurse job. Certifications include:

• Health Utilization Management Certification (HUMC)
• Health Care Quality and Management (HCQM)
• Certified Case Manager (CCM)
• Accredited Case Manager (ACM)

Utilization Review Nurse Resume and Cover Letter

For instance, if an employer is seeking a candidate “proficient in insurance prior authorizations and medical necessity criteria for different payers,” include that phrase in your resume. This helps demonstrate that your skills are a good fit for the job.

In your UR nurse cover letter, explain a bit about what drew you to this particular position. Remember, you don’t want just any old job — you want this job. To reinforce this sentiment, search the employer’s website for their mission statement and see where your values overlap.
