Q: How do I add an Authorization?

A: To add an authorization, go to the patient calendar and select New Authorization.





Understanding Authorization Specs 


Type: This is referring to the Visit Type which will reflect the billing code of this service.

Date Range: Insert the full date range of the Authorization. Start Service is optional and should be applied for authorizations that already started on a previous date. 

Authorized Services: This represents the caregiver/ service you are authorizing to provide to your patient. 

Note: The selected authorized service will effect what type of schedule you can apply. For example, Floating Schedule will only work for PA, DSP and RSP
