## About the role

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.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years of prior authorization experience within home health, hospice, or post-acute care
- Deep familiarity with Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, managed Medicaid, commercial insurance, and authorization workflows
- Experience obtaining authorizations across multiple payer portals
- Strong understanding of eligibility verification, authorization documentation requirements, and referral workflows
- Experience with HomeCare HomeBase (HCHB), Axxess, WellSky, and KanTime preferred
- Strong organizational skills with excellent attention to detail
