Utilization Management Coordinator

Job Description A bit about this role: The Utilization Management Coordinator plays a vital role in supporting Clinical Operations by managing the intake, prior authorization, and clinical coordination workflows. This role ensures timely case intake, accurate authorization set-up, and effective coordination with members, providers, and internal clinical teams to support care transitions and authorization processes. The coordinator will be an important part of building strong relationships with health care providers through proactive communication, managing key operational processes to enable efficient, high-quality clinical decisions. This is a fast-paced environment that requires exceptional organization, attention to detail, and a natural talent for customer service.
