Detail-oriented authorization specialist skilled in prior authorizations and insurance compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented Authorization Specialist with over two years of focused experience in medical prior authorizations, insurance verification, and Medicare compliance. I maintain accuracy and HIPAA compliance while coordinating with providers, payers, and patients.
In my current remote role at a large healthcare system, I contact insurance companies and third-party payers to secure pre-certifications and prior authorizations, and I ensure timely notifications of admissions to maintain coverage compliance. Previously, I served as a Surgery Authorization Specialist where I verified surgical coverage, entered authorization data into eClinicalWorks, and collaborated with clinical teams to reduce care delays.
Earlier, as a Medical Authorization Specialist in a Shared Services Center, I documented account activity, conducted insurance follow-ups, and provided patient cost estimates while participating in daily coaching and team meetings. I am proficient with EPIC, eClinicalWorks, OnBase, Cisco Jabber, and Microsoft Office.
I bring strong communication, compliance-focus, and a patient-centered approach to authorization workflows, aiming to streamline processes and support clinical teams in delivering timely care.
