This organization works closely with fertility clinics, patients, and insurance providers to coordinate the prior authorization process, helping patients receive timely approvals for medications needed during fertility treatment.

• Manage multiple authorization requests while responding to incoming phone calls, clinic chats, and electronic messages.
• Follow up on pending authorizations to help prevent delays in patient care.
• Maintain accurate documentation and update patient information within pharmacy systems.
• Prioritize competing tasks while meeting productivity, accuracy, and turnaround-time expectations.
• Provide professional, compassionate support to patients navigating the fertility treatment process.
• Collaborate with team members and leadership to resolve issues and improve workflows.

Required Qualifications

• Pharmacy technician experience in retail, specialty, mail-order, hospital, or other pharmacy-related environments.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Excellent organizational skills and ability to manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy when handling patient information and insurance documentation.
• Comfortable working with computers, navigating multiple software systems, and learning new technology.
• Ability to work independently, solve problems, and adapt to changing priorities.
• Ability to work onsite in Irving, TX, Monday through Friday.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior authorization, insurance verification, pharmacy intake, or specialty pharmacy experience.
• Familiarity with pharmacy insurance processes, prescription workflows, and medical terminology.
• Experience communicating with patients, healthcare providers, or insurance companies.
• National Pharmacy Technician Certification is a plus.

Prior authorization experience is preferred but not required. Candidates with a strong pharmacy background, excellent communication skills, and a willingness to learn are encouraged to apply.

• Organized and efficient: Able to manage multiple requests, prioritize deadlines, and maintain accuracy in a fast-paced environment.

• Proactive problem-solvers: Take initiative, ask thoughtful questions, and work through challenges to find solutions.
