Job Description:
The Authorization Specialist will be responsible for verifying patient insurance coverage, obtaining prior authorizations, and resolving complex authorization issues for specialty healthcare services.

- Explain insurance benefits, out-of-pocket costs, deductibles, and patient financial responsibilities.
- Accurately document insurance verification and authorization activity within EMR systems.
- Collaborate with internal teams and third-party vendors to resolve outstanding authorization issues.
- Identify recurring payer issues and recommend opportunities to improve authorization workflows.
Requirements:
- Strong insurance verification and benefits eligibility experience required.
- Extensive prior authorization experience required, including handling complex or escalated authorization cases.

- Comfortable communicating directly with patients, insurance carriers, and clinical teams.
- Strong attention to detail, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, high-volume remote environment.
- Reliable, adaptable, and team-oriented.
