About the Role

Metro Vein Centers is seeking a detail-oriented Medical Authorization Specialist to support our surgical authorization and front-end revenue cycle operations.

This role is responsible for obtaining prior authorizations for medically necessary surgical procedures, reviewing clinical documentation for payer compliance, and helping ensure patients can move forward with care without unnecessary delays or denials.

The ideal candidate has prior experience working with insurance portals, surgical authorizations, medical necessity documentation, and payer guidelines in a fast-paced healthcare environment. This is not an entry-level administrative role — success in this position requires strong critical thinking, urgency, attention to detail, and a solid understanding of insurance authorization workflows.

This is a fully remote role supporting Metro Vein Centers’ growing national operations. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, high-volume authorization environment.
