About
If your Agency is utilizing Authorizations, an Administrator can manage what is displayed as an option in the Procedure drop-down located in the Authorization Tracker. If multiple procedures are authorized at once, an Authorization Group can be created to select. Whenever one of the services in the group is provided to a client, the Authorization Tracker will adjust the remaining authorizations that are available.
Add an Authorization Group
- Navigate to Billing Configuration in NSS Clinical by following the path above.
- Click the expand button to expand the Activity field row.
- Click the Add New Choice button.
- In the Choice Text field, add a description of what you'd like to call the Authorization Group. This is what is displayed as an option in the Procedure drop-down in the Auth Tracker widget.
Note: If you want the Authorization Group to show at the top of the list in the Procedure drop-down in the Authorization Tracker, enter a "*" first. (e.g. *All Individual Therapy). |
- In the Choice Value field, enter the Act ID Code(s) to match the Activity Codes from the Billing Engine: Maintenance and Setup > Activity Codes > Activity Codes. Make sure to separate multiple codes by placing a comma after each code with no space added.
Note: Choice Value should not be left blank. What is entered in this field must match an Activity Code or Activity Codes in the Billing Engine. |
- Select the Auth Only checkbox.
- Click the Save changes button.
