Experience in Utilization Review Not Required

While prior utilization review experience is always valued, many of our most successful team members have come from a variety of backgrounds within the behavioral health treatment field. Candidates who have worked in residential treatment centers, outpatient programs, or other clinical/administrative behavioral health settings often transition very well into this role. Their firsthand understanding of the treatment process, client needs, and clinical workflows provides an excellent foundation for learning utilization review.

We provide comprehensive training and ongoing support, so if you bring a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a passion for supporting access to care, you can thrive with us even without previous UR experience.

Communicate with facility staff and internal departments regarding client coverage and clinical needs.
Serve as a client advocate, ensuring access to appropriate care through effective payer communication.
Ensure timely documentation of all authorizations, decisions, and payer communications.
Perform other related duties as assigned.

Qualifications
