Experienced Prior Authorization Specialist to improve and automate authorization workflows for home health and hospice.
Обязанности
- We're hiring an experienced Prior Authorization Specialist to help build the future of authorization automation for home health and hospice.
- Prior authorization is one of the largest operational bottlenecks for agencies. Our platform automatically verifies benefits, gathers documentation, submits authorizations, follows up with payers, and monitors approval status. Your role is to ensure those automations run accurately, efficiently, and according to payer requirements.
- You'll combine deep operational knowledge with process improvement, helping us encode payer-specific workflows into software that scales across thousands of authorization requests.
- This isn't a traditional authorization desk role. It's an operations role for someone who understands the complexity of authorizations and wants to help automate them.
