You may also work longer hours if you choose. Our greatest need is coverage until 5:00 or 6:00 PM EST. Medication authorizations are one of the fastest-growing areas in healthcare. Providers need support with authorizations for weight loss medications, biologics, chemotherapeutics, infusion therapies, and buy-and-bill medications. If you have this experience, there is strong potential for steady work and increased earnings. Pay and Earnings Pay is transaction-based, meaning each case you accept and complete is a paid project. Estimated pay range: Approximately $400 to $1,000+ per week, based on production and bonus. The more cases you complete, the higher your earning potential.
