Lead Product Owner / Business Integration Lead (Prior Authorization)
Location/Work model: 100% Remote (must work Eastern Time core hours)
Type: Contract (~7 months, Possible extension)
Compensation: $72/HR
We’re looking for a Lead Product Owner / Business Integration Lead to stabilize and improve end-to-end Prior Authorization (PA) operations and the supporting technology/process integrations. This is a true hybrid role (Product Owner + Business Integration Lead) focused on fixing real breakdowns in the PA-to-claims flow—identifying failure points, driving corrective action, and delivering improvements that impact accuracy, turnaround time, and provider experience.
This role is ideal for someone who has deep payer-side PA domain expertise and can confidently partner across clinical, IT, claims, and operations to drive solutions through to completion.
Must-have systems/standards:
- FACETS (including claims-to-operations “matching”)
- GuidingCare (especially downstream workflow after the authorization leaves GuidingCare)
- EDI 278
- Own end-to-end Prior Authorization (PA) program delivery across clinical, technical, and operational teams.
- Lead requirements work: gather, document, validate, and manage functional/non-functional requirements, translating them into user stories and acceptance criteria.
- Drive cross-functional execution across multiple workstreams: stakeholder workshops, design reviews, issue triage, and delivery planning.
- Identify and resolve breakdowns/errors in the PA/claims process—pinpoint fail points and implement fixes/workarounds with clinical + IT teams.
- Lead UAT planning and execution: test plans, defect documentation, coordination of fixes, and release readiness.
- Track and improve PA performance metrics (e.g., turnaround time, denials, provider friction, auto-decision rates).
- Support change communications/training and provide guidance to other analysts.
Domain / Experience
- Deep end-to-end Prior Authorization expertise (not just general “healthcare IT”).
- 15+ years in payer operations / healthcare delivery / utilization management / PA programs.
- 8–10+ years operating as a Product Owner (or equivalent end-to-end product delivery lead) in a payer/healthcare environment.
- Proven ability to lead large, cross-functional, multi-workstream initiatives and drive outcomes to closure.
- Strong skills in requirements, stakeholder management, process/systems analysis, issue management, and executive-ready communication.
- FACETS: working knowledge of claims-to-operations “matching” and how PA/claims flow connects downstream (this is emphasized as critical).
- GuidingCare: working knowledge, especially what happens after the authorization leaves GuidingCare.
- EDI 278 experience/knowledge.
- MBA (Bachelor’s required or equivalent additional relevant experience).
- Prior experience helping drive a “task force” / stabilization effort where there are ongoing errors and high-visibility corrective actions.
- Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration/Management/Finance (or related) or equivalent experience
- MBA preferred
