Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.
- Worklist triage planSixty-four open authorization requests put in order: which are late, which are due, which rules apply, and how the list will be kept from here.
- Request packet reviewAn imaging request checked against the plan's published criteria, what is missing, the honest routes forward, and what the packet will contain when it goes.
- Denial appealA denied sleep study answered on the plan's own stated reason, with the records that were missing, the route chosen, and what the patient was told.
- Monthly authorization reportMay's requests, approvals, denials and reversals in one page, the main avoidable cause, and the plans that decided late.
