Using Authorizations

When a patient arrives for a subsequent treatment for the injury and you change the Status to T, a window appears with a list of applicable authorizations. Authorization types are listed in the following order:
  • A: Active (including expired)
  • P: Pending
  • I: Inactive

To apply an authorization from the list, click on the first line to select the active authorization that has visits remaining, then click Apply to Treatment. You can select a pending authorization, but you should immediately follow up to resolve the status issue. If you select Cancel, no authorization is applied.
