  • Working knowledge of ASAM, LOCUS, and CALOCUS criteria and medical necessity standards
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple authorizations and deadlines concurrently
  • Strong familiarity with EMR platforms and authorization software
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to advocate effectively with payers
  • Eligible for DCF and AHCA Level 2 Background Check

Preferred
  • CPT/ICD-10 and DSM-5 familiarity
