I was promoted to the diversions team where I handled any errors that occurred in prescription processing by communicating with insurance companies, patients, and physicians to get the medication covered and filled. I was also in charge of teaching the rest of the staff how to prevent certain errors from occurring in order to provide a more efficient workflow experience.This job required extensive use of computer programs to track diversions and input insurance benefits for patients. I also gained plenty of experience speaking with third party insurance companies and patients over the phone to resolve diversions. I improved in my leadership skills by teaching the rest of the staff how to use the computer systems and the correct ways to report their data to avoid creating diversions. Show less
