Frequently asked questions
What is prior authorization in healthcare?
It is the payer approval a hospital must obtain before a procedure, admission or high-cost investigation. A prior authorization executive gathers clinical documents, submits them, and follows up with the insurer until a decision is issued.
Is prior authorization work available outside metro cities?
Yes. While many insurer and hospital-authorisation desks are in Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Pune, a growing amount of TPA and hospital-side prior authorization work is based in tier-2 cities, which is where most of these openings sit.
