Upmc Remote Nurse Jobs – Hiring Now
Last updated: October 20, 2026 · By Amna
Here is the honest shape of this search, before anything else: UPMC is a large health system and health plan based in Pennsylvania, and most of its nursing is hands-on facility care — hospital floors, clinics, procedure rooms. That work is not remote, and no search trick makes it remote. The remote edge is real but narrower: plan-side and phone-and-record seats, in areas like care management, review work and triage-type support, as posts state. So search this name with your eyes open — one official portal, a license that matches the post’s states, and the facility jobs filtered out from the start. Do those three things and the search is short and honest.
First, What You Are Actually Applying To
UPMC works on two sides of the same house. One side delivers care: hospitals and outpatient sites where nurses work in person, with patients in the room. The other side runs a health plan: members, claims, care programs and coverage decisions, handled by phone and record. A remote nursing search under this name is a search of the second side, plus the small set of system roles that support care at a distance. Keep that split in front of you and the postings sort themselves. If a post names a unit, a floor or a shift at a facility, it is an on-site job wearing no disguise — the location line will say so. This page describes the employer in general terms only; it invents no program names, team sizes or opening counts, and the post in front of you is the only authority on its own duties.
Where the Remote Seats Sit
In general terms, the remote-friendly seats at a system like this cluster where the work is already phone and record:
- Care management — coordinating members’ care over time, by phone and chart.
- Review work — reading records against stated criteria and documenting the judgment.
- Triage-type and advice support — assessing callers under protocol and routing them to the right level of care.
- Follow-up and program support — scheduled calls, check-ins and documentation for care programs, as posts state.
Notice what is missing from that list: anything that needs your hands on a patient. The moment a role needs a room, it is posted as a facility role. Experienced nurses around Pittsburgh often start this search — the honest advice is to let the post’s location and duty lines, not the employer’s name, decide which pile a post lands in.
The License Picture: Pennsylvania and the Compact
Pennsylvania is fully implemented in the Nurse Licensure Compact as of July 7, 2025. In practice: a multistate RN or LPN license from another compact state covers Pennsylvania patients, and a Pennsylvania multistate license covers patients across the compact states. One trap is worth naming — older single-state Pennsylvania licenses did not convert on their own when implementation landed, so read what your license actually says before you assume it travels. And the standing rule holds here as everywhere: the compact covers RN and LPN practice only and never covers APRN practice, which is licensed state by state. A post names the states its patients or members sit in; your licenses have to cover those states, whether you live in Pennsylvania or three time zones away. Verify the roster on NCSBN.org.
Pay: Baselines Only, Nothing Invented
Plainly: this page quotes no UPMC pay figure, because none is ours to quote. Pay is set post by post, and the employer’s own listing states it. Your yardsticks are the Bureau of Labor Statistics national medians by license level: RN $86,070 a year, NP $126,260, LPN/LVN $59,730 (OES, May 2024). Verify on BLS.gov. Most remote seats in this lane hire on an RN license, so the RN median is the usual baseline; a post written at the APRN level reads against the NP median. If a third-party site quotes you an average UPMC remote nurse salary, ask what post it came from — without one, it is a guess wearing a lab coat.
How to Apply: Step by Step
- Go to the one official portal first (linked below) and set the location filter to remote before you type a single role word. The facility volume will bury the remote seats if you let it.
- Search plan-side words: “care manager,” “utilization review,” “triage” and “remote nurse” — the words the remote edge is filed under.
- Read the location line on every post — remote, hybrid or a named facility — before the duties seduce you.
- Match the post’s state list to your licenses, Pennsylvania included, and sort out APRN lines state by state.
- Apply on the portal and keep the confirmation. Shape your resume with the resume guide first.

Where to Apply
UPMC’s own official careers portal comes first — it is the only place UPMC posts its roles, and its listing is the real, current post. The plan-side lanes on this page also exist at other health plans, so their verified portals follow for the same search. Applying is always free:
- UPMC Careers — search “remote,” “care manager” and “utilization review,” and filter location to remote.
- UnitedHealth Group Careers (UnitedHealthcare and Optum) — search “care manager” and “triage nurse.”
- CVS Health Clinical Careers (includes Aetna) — search “care management” and “nurse” under Clinical.
- The Cigna Group Healthcare Careers — search “utilization review” and “case management.”
- Humana Careers — search “care manager” and “telehealth nurse.”
Take It Seriously If — Walk Away If
Take a UPMC post seriously if:
- The location line says remote in plain words, and the duties are phone, record and screen work.
- The state list sits inside your licenses, and the pay line is stated on the post itself.
Walk away if:
- The “remote” job turns out to be a facility shift with a laptop in the break room. Read the location line again.
- Anyone contacts you about a UPMC seat from outside the official portal and asks for money, gift cards or banking details. That is not a recruiter; that is the scam section below, arriving early.
Red Flags: Protect Yourself
Real employers never charge a fee to apply, never interview only on a chat app, and never ask you to cash a check for equipment. Big health system names draw a specific fraud: messages that borrow the system’s name, offer a remote nursing seat, and steer you to a look-alike site or a chat interview that ends with a request for personal details or an equipment check. UPMC hires through its own careers portal. If an offer did not start there, verify it there — type the address yourself — before you share anything. Full checklist: Report a Job / Report a Scam.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does UPMC hire nurses to work remotely?
Some seats, yes — in general terms, the plan-side and support lanes: care management, review work, triage-type phone support and program follow-up, as posts state. Most UPMC nursing is on-site facility care and is posted that way. Read the location and duty lines on the post itself; the employer’s name alone never tells you a seat is remote.
Where do I apply for a UPMC remote nursing job?
On UPMC’s official careers portal, careers.upmc.com — linked in the Where to Apply section above. That portal is the only place UPMC posts its roles, and applying there is free. Set the location filter to remote and search plan-side words like care manager and utilization review, then read each post’s location line before you apply.
What license do I need for a UPMC remote post?
The license the post names, covering every state its patients or members sit in. Pennsylvania fully implemented the Nurse Licensure Compact on July 7, 2025, so a multistate RN or LPN license covers Pennsylvania patients — but older single-state Pennsylvania licenses did not convert automatically. APRN practice sits outside the compact entirely. Verify the roster on NCSBN.org.
How much do UPMC remote nurses make?
Each post states its own pay, and this page quotes no UPMC figure. The baselines are the BLS national medians by license level: RN $86,070 a year, NP $126,260, LPN/LVN $59,730 (OES, May 2024). Most remote seats in this lane hire on an RN license, so the RN median is the usual comparison. Verify on BLS.gov.
Is UPMC based only in Pennsylvania?
UPMC is based in Pennsylvania and the bulk of its care is delivered there, but this page makes no claim about where any given post sits. A post names its own location and patient states — some remote seats are tied to Pennsylvania licensure, others are not. Read the post’s own lines rather than assuming the employer’s home state decides it.
How do I know a UPMC listing here is current?
We check each job on the official employer site before posting and re-check weekly. Each post shows its verified date. See How We Verify Jobs.
Final tip: With a system this size, the filter is the skill. Portal, remote location line, plan-side words, license match — in that order. Run every UPMC post through those four gates and you will never waste an evening on a facility job in remote clothing.
