TimeLog window – Authorizations hint

Path: Transactions>General>TimeLog

The Authorizations hint appears when you focus the mouse on the ellipsis button of the A(Select Authorization) column in the TimeLog window. Using this hint, you can view the payer authorization information. Also, the system automatically assigns the authorization to the service. The authorization is assigned in Patient>General>Authorizations.

The authorization details that appear in the hint are based on the patient, role, service code, and insurance (primary or secondary) parameters.

When you select Save, the system assigns the authorization to the service. The result is displayed as the icon on the Authorization Status column depending on the authorization status of the service or visit (the information on the status of services is stored in Patient>General>Authorization).

Authorizations settings depend on the Allow Exceed Authorizations selected in Administration>Configuration>Operators>Privileges>Scheduler. For example, two visits are allowed for the authorization and set in Patient>General>Authorization, and there is no privilege for the Allow Exceed Authorizations set. If we enter the third visits in TimeLog, exceeding the quantity of visits allowed, the error message will appear and the user will not be able to save the changes.

In the same case, if there are two visits allowed and three visits are intended to be scheduled, but an Allow Exceed Authorizations privilege is set in Administration>Configuration>Operators>Privileges>Scheduler, the user will see the warning message. Still the changes will be saved.
