What Does a Prior Authorization Specialist Do?

A prior authorization specialist gets insurer approval before scheduled procedures, imaging, infusions, specialty drugs or referrals: checking whether authorization is required, submitting clinical information on payer portals, following up and tracking approvals and denials so care is not delayed or unpaid.

They work in specialty practices, hospitals, infusion and imaging centers and home health, often remotely, and are usually trained on the job.

Closest available, and a weak match: BLS has no prior-authorization occupation. This is insurance claims and policy processing clerks, most of whom work for insurers rather than providers. Source: BLS OEWS May 2025, SOC 43-9041 Insurance Claims and Policy Processing Clerks. BLS pay excludes overtime and the self-employed.
