Full Job Description

Invested Health Center is seeking an experienced Medical Referral & Prior Authorization Specialist to take ownership of our referral and insurance authorization process. This role is ideal for someone with extensive experience using Availity and payer portals who can independently manage complex prior authorizations, coordinate specialty referrals, and work closely with providers to ensure patients receive timely access to care.

About Invested Health Center, Inc.

At Invested Health Center, we’re Redefining Healthcare for All by delivering Healthcare with Heart. We are a rapidly growing nonprofit healthcare organization providing comprehensive primary care for patients of all backgrounds, while also offering specialized expertise in HIV prevention and treatment, sexual health, preventive medicine, and other innovative healthcare services. Our mission is to expand access to exceptional, compassionate healthcare—especially for individuals and communities who have historically faced barriers to care. We believe healthcare should be personal, respectful, and never rushed. That’s why we intentionally schedule longer appointment times so our providers can truly listen, educate, and build lasting relationships with every patient. We focus on delivering the highest quality care—not simply seeing the highest number of patients—and our growth through word-of-mouth referrals is a reflection of the trust we’ve earned within our community. As we continue expanding our services and reaching more communities throughout Central Florida, we’re looking for exceptional people who share our commitment to clinical excellence, innovation, and service. Whether it’s providing comprehensive primary care, advancing HIV prevention, introducing new specialty services, or improving access for underserved populations, every member of our team plays a vital role in helping us transform healthcare. If you’re looking for more than just a job—if you want to be part of an organization that’s improving lives, strengthening communities, and building the future of patient-centered healthcare—we’d love to meet you.
