As a work from home prior authorization specialist, you obtain prior authorization approval from insurance companies on behalf of health care providers. Your responsibilities include verifying patient insurance coverage and benefits as written in their policy, confirming procedure coverage, and working virtually with a team to accomplish prescribed tasks. Other duties include identifying patient information and updating records to prevent billing issues. Because you perform telephonic reviews, you can work from home in the right circumstances. You can also work as a remote medical biller, registered nurse, or pharmacy technician.
