Referral Authorization Specialist
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to extract substantive info:
Job Description: Assures that all referrals are managed effectively and efficiently for ancillary testing. Provides high-level customer service to both referring physicians as well as referred patients. Obtains pre-authorization for all ancillary tests and performs additional administrative support functions. This job requires the application and interpretation of policies and procedures and the use of independent judgment in a medical setting. The individual must possess the ability to maintain a working knowledge of the insurance criteria and regulations as it pertains to ancillary testing of the carrier contracts/changes. This position can be reassigned to any location within OGH/BRMC offices as may be required to meet business needs.
That's description; could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Usually "About the role" is summary; "Responsibilities" list duties. We have duties: assures referrals managed, provides customer service, obtains pre-authorization, performs admin support, applies policies, maintains knowledge, can be reassigned.
We can put those under Responsibilities as - .
Education And Credentials: High School diploma or equivalent. Completion of an accredited Licensed Practical Nurse program for LPN applicants. Current and valid drivers license. Current and valid Pennsylvania LPN license; LPN applicants only.
That's qualifications/requirements.
Experience: Two (2) years experience in a medical office setting with experience working with billing and insurance. LPN applicants must have two (2) years experience in a physician office setting with experience working with billing and insurance.
Also: Visual and auditory acuity, manual dexterity, language and interpersonal skills. Knowledge of personal computer and word processing preferred.
That's skills/requirements.
Working Conditions: Job Details Department: BRMC Practice Management Standard Hours Bi-Weekly: 75.00 Weekend/Holiday Requirement: No On Call Required: No With Rotation: No Scheduled Work Hours: 8-5 Work Arrangement: Onsite Union Code: N35 - Non Union OGH Requisition ID#: 24915 Recruiter: Erica R. Babcock Grade: OLH2 Pay Frequency: Bi-Weekly Salary Range: $16.00 - $21.66* Wage will be determined based on factors such as candidate's experience, qualifications, internal equity, and any applicable collective bargaining agreement.
We have Pay info: Salary Range $16.00 - $21.66 per hour? It says Salary Range: $16.00 - $21.66* (maybe per hour). Pay Frequency: Bi-Weekly. So we can include Pay section with that info.
Schedule: Standard Hours Bi-Weekly: 75.00 (that's 75 hours per two weeks = 37.5 hrs/week). Scheduled Work Hours: 8-5. Weekend/Holiday Requirement: No. On Call Required: No. With Rotation: No. Work Arrangement: Onsite. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: Not mentioned. So we should not create Benefits section.
Qualifications: Could combine Education and Credentials and Experience? Usually Qualifications includes education, experience, licenses. We'll have a Qualifications section with those bullet points.
Skills: Visual and auditory acuity, manual dexterity, language and interpersonal skills. Knowledge of personal computer and word processing preferred. That's skills.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
headings.
Structure:
About the role
... summary maybe from job description first sentence? Could combine description as About the role.
But we also have Responsibilities section with list.
We could put About the role as a brief paragraph summarizing role: Assures that all referrals are managed effectively and efficiently for ancillary testing. Provides high-level customer service to both referring physicians as well as referred patients. Obtains pre-authorization for all ancillary tests and performs additional administrative support functions. This job requires the application and interpretation of policies and procedures and the use of independent judgment in a medical setting. The individual must possess the ability to maintain a working knowledge of the insurance criteria and regulations as it pertains to ancillary testing of the carrier contracts/changes. This position can be reassigned to any location within OGH/BRMC offices as may be required to meet business needs.
Then Responsibilities: maybe we can list same items as bullet list. But to avoid duplication, we could keep About the role as prose and Responsibilities as bullet list of duties (maybe same). However duplication may be considered repeating content; but instructions: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It's okay to have same info in both prose and list? Might be considered duplication but not prohibited. However better to split: About the role could be a brief overview; Responsibilities list the duties. We can keep About the role as first two sentences maybe; but we need to preserve all info. If we omit some info from About the role, we must include it elsewhere. So we can put all duties in Responsibilities list, and About the role could be a short summary that doesn't omit any info? That would cause omission. Better to not have About the role if we can't summarize without losing detail. But we need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting has a job description paragraph; we can treat that as About the role. Then Responsibilities could be omitted if no separate list. However we have duties listed in that paragraph; we could still make Responsibilities section with same content but that would be duplication but not prohibited. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine About the role and Responsibilities into one section? But headings are prescribed; we can choose to include only those headings that have content. We could include About the role (the paragraph) and Responsibilities (maybe we can leave empty? Not allowed). So we need to decide.
We could make About the role = the paragraph. Responsibilities = maybe we can list the same bullet points but it's okay. However to avoid thin sections, we could make Responsibilities include the bullet points derived from the paragraph, and About the role could be a brief summary like "The Referral Authorization Specialist manages referrals for ancillary testing, obtains pre-authorizations, provides customer service, and performs administrative support." That would lose some detail (like knowledge of insurance criteria, reassignment). That would be summarizing away detail, which is not allowed. So we must preserve all detail. So we need to include all detail somewhere. If we put all detail in Responsibilities list, we can keep About the role as maybe a short intro that doesn't omit any detail? That's impossible without repeating. But we could put About the role as same paragraph and Responsibilities as same paragraph? That repeats but preserves all detail. The instruction about not repeating job title as heading, but doesn't forbid repeating content. It says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Repeating is okay as long as not summarizing away. So we can duplicate.
Thus we can have About the role paragraph (the job description) and Responsibilities list (same items). That preserves all detail.
Alternatively we could omit About the role and just have Responsibilities list with all detail, and maybe also have Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. That would be fewer sections. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Having fewer sections is better. So we could skip About the role entirely if we can put all job description content into Responsibilities. The heading "About the role" is optional; we only include if posting has real, specific content for it. The posting does have a job description paragraph; we could treat that as About the role content. But we could also treat that as Responsibilities. However the instruction says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we must include About the role if we have a job description; it's just an example. It says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we need to decide if the posting has real, specific content for "About the role". The posting includes a job description paragraph that describes the role. That could be considered content for About the role. So we should include About the role with that paragraph. Then we also have Responsibilities which could be derived from same paragraph but we could also keep it; but that would be thin? Not necessarily thin if we list bullets. It would be substantive.
Thus we will include About the role (paragraph), Responsibilities (bullet list), Qualifications (education, experience, license), Skills (visual/auditory, PC), Pay (salary range, frequency), Schedule (hours, weekend, oncall, work arrangement). No Benefits.
We must not include Job ID, recruiter, grade, union code etc. Those are minor metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include a short
for metadata like "Requisition ID: 24915 | Recruiter: Erica R. Babcock". But we could also drop it. Safer to drop minor metadata entirely? The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can drop it. We'll not include those.
Now craft HTML.
We need to ensure we don't include any markdown fences.
Let's produce:
