Service Authorization Overview
Service authorizations tie services to payers. Depending on the business line of service to be provided, an authorization is created. When an authorization is in place, you schedule resources to provide the services requested. Service authorizations can be created after you enter Intake/Referral, payer type, and the certification period.
An authorization can be considered a type of service agreement which connects the type of payer to the service that is requested. An authorization must be created with every payer type in the application.
Within the financial record, you can view the following authorization content:
Authorization Start and End Date.
Authorization number, if needed.
Status.
Services and Case Type.
