About this Role.
About the Role
We're seeking an experienced Workers' Compensation Referrals Coordinator to manage the full referral and authorization lifecycle for a California orthopedic practice. This is a specialized role — California workers' comp referrals move differently than standard medical referrals, with strict requirements around RFAs, authorization timelines, and coordination between carriers, adjusters, and providers.
You'll own each case from the moment a referral comes in through scheduling once authorization is secured, making sure nothing stalls, gets lost, or falls through the cracks along the way.
Core Responsibilities
Prepare, submit, and track RFAs (Requests for Authorization)
Manage workers' comp referrals from start to finish
Follow up on pending authorizations and referral requests
Coordinate patient scheduling once authorization is received
Upload referral requests and supporting documentation
Update case information and notes in ModMed
Enter charges related to referral requests
Communicate with insurance carriers, adjusters, third-party administrators, patients, and providers
Keep cases organized and moving, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks

Why This Role
