What does a Life Care Planner Do?
Develop plans to improve the quality of life and make care recommendations for individuals with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and catastrophic injuries. Life care planners analyze, research, evaluate, and work with other professionals to develop life care plans that assess patients' future medical, psychosocial, and economic needs.
You will develop life care plans documenting the current and future medical, psychosocial, and economic needs of individuals with catastrophic disability or long-term health care needs. Life care planners work with attorneys, insurance companies, managed care organizations, and in independent practice.
