Authorization Numbers #

Authorization numbers can support payer requirements when services require prior authorization. Record the number in the appropriate billing or case context using verified payer information.

What to do #

  1. Confirm the patient, payer, service, and authorization involved.
  2. Review the authorization number from the approved source.
  3. Enter it in the applicable Phoenix authorization field or case/billing context.
  4. Check relevant dates or service limitations supplied with the authorization.
  5. Save and review before claim submission.

Verify before you finish #

  • The authorization belongs to the correct patient/payer.
  • The number is entered exactly as supplied.
  • The authorization is relevant to the billed service/date.

Important

An authorization number does not guarantee claim payment. Payer rules, dates, services, units, and other requirements can still affect adjudication.
