Authorization Expert - Damien WhoKnows

from The Tiberius Show · host The Tiberius Show

This week, Tiberius Boy sits down with Damien — supervisor in a hospital authorization department, former restaurant worker, food truck guy, physical therapy assistant, and current podcaster. (Yes… all of that. We checked. He’s real.)We talk about:    What “authorizations” even means in a hospital (spoiler: without it, you can’t get care).    Why health insurance makes everything harder than it needs to be.    Why he calls the healthcare system “a necessary evil.”    How it feels telling someone, “You can’t get the treatment you need,” even when it’s life or death.    What skills you need if you want to work in medical approvals (hint: empathy, Microsoft Excel, and being able to talk to people without freaking out).    Why he thinks health care should not depend on how rich you are or where you work.#TheTiberiusShow #Healthcare #PodcastLife #AuthorizationDept #MathCorners #HeartOfALion #KidsInMedia #StayInSchool #RemainRoamReturnBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tiberius-show--3352195/support.
