With information coming in from various sources—member plan details, provider information,
care request details, and more—there’s increased chances of administrative errors.

The Authorization Intake process helps you save time and cut down on errors. You can create an
authorization request of type Inpatient, Outpatient, or Concurrent review. Depending on
the request type, the request creation process varies.

app or the Case record page of the linked request

Link a Concurrent Review to an Existing Request Ensure members continue to get timely and cost-effective care by performing concurrent reviews for an existing request during the course of a member’s treatment.
Add Care Request Details to the Authorization Request Authorizations require that you add details about the requested service. The details you enter depend on whether the care request is new or existing, and inpatient or outpatient.
Add Provider Details to the Authorization Request Enter information about the requesting provider, servicing provider, and the servicing facility where the service will occur. You can automatically see if the provider is inside or outside the payer network.
Upload Supporting Documents for the Authorization Request Authorization requests often require supporting clinical documents. In the Authorization Intake process, the Upload Clinical Documents window provides a checklist of required documents.
Review the Authorization Request Before submitting an authorization request, you see an overview where you can override the document status and add notes or observations.
