  • Evaluate claims, reconsiderations, and appeals to support accurate coverage determinations and ensure compliance with balance billing protections
  • Draft clear, member-facing letters outlining benefit decisions and relevant considerations
  • Collaborate with providers, vendors and internal stakeholders to gather necessary clinical information for making coverage decisions
  • Partner with Provider Engagement Team and Member Care teams to support care shopping and improve member experience
  • Contribute to quality improvement initiatives that enhance clinical review processes
  • Ensure adherence to clinical guidelines, internal policies, and regulatory requirements

Role Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree
  • Clinical credentials (RN)
  • 5+ years of experience as a nurse providing direct patient care, preferably in a hospital setting
  • 3+ years of utilization review experience, preferably in a health plan, managed care, or third-party administrator environment
  • Hands-on experience using Milliman Care Guidelines (MCG)
  • Experience in medical billing and/or coding in one of the following:
  • Provider setting: billing, revenue cycle management, clinical auditing, legal compliance
  • Payor setting: utilization management, prior authorization review, payment integrity
  • Strong written communication skills, including drafting correspondence for members, patients, and providers
  • Demonstrated ability to think critically and make sound decisions with limited information
  • Proven cross-functional collaboration skills and experience presenting recommendations to leadership
  • Strong problem-solving ability, especially in managing escalated or complex cases
  • Prior authorization experience strongly preferred
