5 Companies With Remote Telephone Triage Jobs For Nurses


If you are a nurse looking to make money from home, you might consider getting involved in telephone triage. There are companies nationwide that are continually on the lookout for qualified nurses to fill these positions.

As a nurse doing telephone triage from home, you will take calls from patients, assess their various symptoms, and then help to point them in the right direction regarding medical care.

Pay for this is competitive with some nurses making around $30 an hour, give or take, although I’ve read it can be a stressful job — particularly during cold and flu season.

Pay, requirements, benefits, etc. will vary depending on who you work for.

Keep in mind that telephone triage from home often means working long shifts with nights and weekends most likely required. And just like with any phone job from home, background noise would need to be eliminated.

Below are some companies that regularly hire nurses to work from home doing telephone triage. Note that not all of these companies are hiring now. Still, it’s smart to keep tabs on them if this line of work interests you.

I also recommend checking with doctors and hospitals in your local area just to see if they have any similar openings for nurses to work at home.

Nursing Resource You Should Browse

While I was digging around for information on telephone triage from home, I came across an insightful forum among nurses who are/were doing triage from home.

Lots of info is posted with nurses giving each tips, advice, resources, and more. You can check that out here.

Interested in the Admin Side of Remote Medical Work?

Some other remote work options in the medical field that are more on the admin side of things include medical scribing, medical billing, medical coding, and medical transcription.

You can work remotely as a medical scribe in many cases as a newbie (it’s more entry-level), but coding, billing, and transcription do typically require training and/or certification before a company will hire you to work for them.

CareerStep is a reputable, online school that offers this training. It’s entirely self-paced, so you can work it around your life.

While the courses are on the pricier side, they do offer payment plans to help plus discounts for military spouses.

Good luck!
