  • 3+ years of utilization review experience, preferably in a health plan, managed care, or third-party administrator environment

  • Experience in medical billing and/or coding in either: A.) Provider setting: billing, revenue cycle management, clinical auditing, legal compliance OR B.) 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
