Health Plan Authorization Representative

Feb 2019 - Present
I investigate policy coverage of pre-service authorization requests. Appropriate requests are then prepared and routed for utilization review. Additionally, I prepare notifications of approvals, revised approvals, inappropriate or incomplete requests and non-covered services. I also provide customer service to all contracted providers by answering all inquries, including status updates, policy and coverage questions, and facilitating any corrections or additions to pre-service authorizations.
