WHAT OUR GRADUATES SAY

Elizabeth Johnson
LPN, CPC, PACS
Prior authorizations are not a multiple choice test that if you put in enough
right answers you ll pass and get an approval. The PACS course explained not
just the "why" of the process, but the importance of all the pieces that make up
the "why." I would recommend this course to anyone involved with the
authorization process to better grasp the steps and refresh their skills. I
thought I was pretty savvy when it came to prior authorizations but this
certification allowed me to further demonstrate my knowledge and skill set.
Taylor Nease
CPhT, PACS
I found the information informative. I knew some of it from doing prior
authorizations already but I also learned a lot about different insurance
companies and services rather than just medications. I got through it pretty
quickly. I liked how the test was laid out with different sections and was easy
to follow. The information was easy to understand and follow. I like the links
that were throughout the slides for more information. The exam itself was over
the material read, no trick questions or hidden information. Overall, I would
recommend the course.
Dorette Shirley
PACS
Great certification program for the field reimbursement/patient access role.
This is beneficial to people in the profession. This gives them an in-depth
overview of the operations surrounding reimbursement.
Jayshree Patil
PACS
The PACS Program is designed very well. It helped me sharpen my skills in this
area. Overall great course and great learning experiences. There are so many
topics that helped me clear my concepts and I will definitely implement that
during my routine job.
Jay Harding
PACS
I really enjoyed the program as it was pertinent to my current role as a Field
Reimbursement Manager at GSK. I heard about the PACS program from our leadership
who supported us in obtaining this certification. Overall, it was a great
learning experience and well worth the investment!
Anil Bulchandani
MBA, LSSBB, PACS
I had a great experience! In terms of the program and design, the content is
great. I am already seeing benefits in my role. There are things that I learned
in the PACS program that I m using in my conversations with the physicians and
nurses. There is tremendous value in the PACS program!
