What a hospice prior authorization specialist does
A hospice prior authorization specialist owns the full prior auth lifecycle - submitting auths through CoverMyMeds, payer portals, and fax, attaching clinical documentation, calling for status, working denials, and filing peer-to-peer appeals. Trained on the imaging, procedures, medications, and DME categories that hospice practices most often need authorized.

Insurance Verification Specialist
A hospice insurance verification specialist runs eligibility and benefits 48-72 hours before every visit, confirms copays, deductibles, coinsurance, and visit-specific coverage with commercial, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid payers, and documents the breakdown in the EHR so the front desk can collect at check-in. They proactively work the no-coverage list and prevent eligibility-driven denials.
Learn moreMedical Receptionist / Front Desk
A hospice virtual medical receptionist answers your inbound lines, returns voicemails, books and reschedules appointments, manages the cancellation waitlist, and routes portal messages. They keep hold times under a minute, recover same-day cancellations, and deliver the front-desk experience patients expect from a top hospice practice.
Learn moreMedical Scribe
A hospice medical scribe joins each encounter in real time over secure audio or video and documents the visit directly in your EHR - HPI, exam, assessment and plan, orders, and follow-up - so the chart is closed before the patient leaves the room. Trained in hospice terminology, common diagnoses, and the documentation standards that drive your reimbursement.
Learn moreVirtual Medical Assistant
A hospice virtual medical assistant is a dedicated, full-time remote staff member trained on the EHRs, payer rules, and patient workflows that hospice practices rely on every day.
