What You Will Be Doing

Benefits & Eligibility Oversight:

Ensure the accuracy and timeliness of benefit and eligibility checks performed by our 3rd-party vendor. Step in directly to resolve escalations or complex cases that require additional investigation, payer communication, or specialized follow-up.

Prior Authorization Escalation Management:

Handle edge cases related to prior authorization submissions, such as denials, urgent approvals, or unclear payer requirements. Ensure providers have what they need to start or continue services without interruption.

Vendor Support & Partnership:

Serve as the escalation point for the vendor, answering their questions, clarifying requirements, and stepping in when situations fall outside standard workflows. Build a collaborative relationship to improve efficiency and accuracy.

Cross-Team Coordination:

Work closely with Provider Success, Billing, and RCM teams to ensure escalated benefit or authorization issues are resolved quickly. Keep providers and internal stakeholders informed of resolution timelines and outcomes.

Documentation & Compliance:

Maintain accurate and detailed records of escalations, payer communications, and final resolutions. Ensure all documentation complies with payer policies, HIPAA, and Finni Health standards.

Continuous Process Improvement:

Identify recurring edge cases or vendor pain points, and work with leadership to improve processes, training, or documentation that can reduce future escalations.

Adaptable Responsibilities:

As Finni Health grows and evolves, your role may expand to include new responsibilities that support our mission and improve the provider and patient experience.
