Prior Authorization Assistant
role at
Ascertain About Ascertain Ascertain is a healthcare technology company based in New York City, building AI agents to automate the administrative work that burdens care teams. Our platform combines structured and unstructured data with clinical logic to streamline workflows in care management and revenue cycle — eliminating tedious manual tasks like prior authorizations, referrals, and documentation so clinicians and support staff can focus on patients. We're already live in production with major health systems and have been trusted to automate high-impact workflows in complex environments. Ascertain's backers include Northwell Health, New York's largest health system, and Deerfield Management, a leading healthcare investment firm. These partnerships give us deep roots in care delivery and the long-term support to build with rigor. We're on a mission to restore time, trust, and focus to the people who keep healthcare running. Our work is urgent — not because of startup timelines, but because our customers rely on us to drive financial resilience and operational clarity in a system under strain. About the Job We're seeking a fully remote, tech-savvy Prior Authorization Assistant to play a critical role in our new AI-powered prior auth solution. This is a unique opportunity to collaborate directly with Ascertain leadership and product teams, while influencing how prior authorization is transformed by recent advances in artificial intelligence.
