Video: (1) Adding Authorization Dates and Hours - YouTube
Use the approved authorized hours to help track how many hours are scheduled versus how many hours have been completed. This feature works with the 17.34 Authorizations Used report, in combination with schedules and visits, to compare authorized to scheduled to completed hours.
Ideally, annual authorization and care plan dates will match. They should create a continuous flow of uninterrupted dates, with no gaps.
For MCOs like Healthy Blue, make sure you enter the From, Thru, auth #, the discipline (for Home Health) and number of visits authorized. This information is required when sending EVV Visits through CareBridge.
1. From Patient Histories or Referral, click on Authorizations.
2. Pull the patient up and select the payer.
3. Add the Service Plan dates as the From and Thru Dates.
4. For Home Health, select the discipline.
5. Select Hours/Week or Hours/Month and key in the authorized hours.
6. Click on Save.
