Where prior authorization specialist searches usually go wrong.
The job is persistent chasing against payer portals and hold queues, so it runs on organization and stamina rather than clinical knowledge. Most candidates have no system beyond a spreadsheet they inherited, and nothing at all that catches an authorization about to expire.
