Compensation details: 24.25-38.81 Hourly Wage PIde682f0dcd5f-25448-41327838 We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's no explicit EEO but we can ignore. We need to preserve substantive info: location, position type, description, work shift, compensation range, requirements/preferred qualifications, position overview, what we offer (benefits), environment and culture. We need to decide sections: Possibly About the role (position overview), Responsibilities (maybe from description?), Requirements (preferred qualifications), Benefits (what we offer), Pay (compensation range), Schedule (work shift). Also maybe Qualifications (but we have Requirements). Skills maybe not explicit. We must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add heading for job title. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's extract: - Location: Basalt, CO | Glenwood Springs, CO - Position Type: Full time - Work Shift Days - 8 Hour (so schedule: 8-hour days) - Compensation Range $24.25 - $38.81 (Pay) - Description: "We are currently hiring for a full time Prior Authorization Specialist within the Prior Authorization department here at Aspen Valley Health."

If you don't meet the job requirements as listed, but you believe you possess equivalent experience or education, you are encouraged to apply." - What We Offer: benefits list. - Environment And Culture: description. Thus sections: - About the role (maybe combine description and position overview? Could be separate: About the role (short description) and Responsibilities (position overview). But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine into About the role (including overview). However the instruction says use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include. We have content for About the role (the hiring statement). We have Responsibilities (position overview). We have Requirements (preferred qualifications). We have Benefits (what we offer). We have Pay (compensation range). We have Schedule (work shift). We might also have Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements). But we can skip Qualifications if we already have Requirements. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

We also might include location in About the role or separate? Could add location in About the role paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. Good. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we omitted. We removed duplicated lines, application instructions, etc. Check for any boilerplate: "What To Love Aspen Valley Health has earned numerous accolades and awards..." That's not included; we omitted because it's not a specific section heading we have content for? It's somewhat fluff but could be part of Environment And Culture. However we didn't include Environment And Culture section. Should we include it? The posting includes environment and culture description with quotes. That is substantive. We could add a section "Environment and Culture". But the allowed headings list does not include that exactly; but we could use "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? Not appropriate. The instruction says use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, but we could also use other headings if needed. However they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could incorporate environment and culture into About the role or Responsibilities? Might be thin if separate. Better to incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate "Environment and Culture" heading if we think it's substantive. But the instruction didn't list that as example; but it didn't forbid. However to be safe, we could incorporate environment and culture details into About the role or Responsibilities? The environment and culture
