Enter a New Authorization by Units
- Select the payer from the Insurance Information grid.
- Select the Units option below the Precertification/Authorization grid.
- Use the fields below the Precertification/Authorization grid to enter the authorization information.
You can use the Get button to populate the fields with authorization information that has already been attached to the Insurance in NextGen® Enterprise PM.
- Select Get and then select the appropriate authorization from the pop up to pull into the Precert template fields.
Note: Pre-Cert Company, Associated Diagnosis, and Expiration Date are optional. The Associated Diagnosis grid will only display Dx codes after the therapist has established the treating diagnosis. - Using the grid that displays CPT codes, select the CPT codes that pertain to the authorization. All selected CPT codes display a checkmark next to them at the top of the grid.
Note:
- You can use the From and To fields to help filter and search for CPT codes.
- If you are filtering the grid, and all CPT codes showing within that filter apply, select the All button to select all and apply them to the current authorization being entered. If the Get functionality was used and the Auth was entered for a range of CPT Codes, the code range is populated into the From and To fields above the CPT Code grid. If this is the correct range, select the All button to add those CPT Codes to the auth being entered.
- Select the Add button to save the authorization.
The Authorization is displayed in the Precertication/Authorization grid.
