Business authorization is the process by which a business is granted authorized access to Internet applications, which it can then delegate to its employees. Delegation of authorized access is the responsibility of the business' administrator.
Note: Business-level authorization is provided to the business rather than to you as an individual. This allows the administrator to be replaced without affecting the authorizations given to the business.
Businesses gain authorization in two different ways:
Automatic - Individuals that register as Medicaid providers, payors and payees are automatically authorized for application access once they have successfully registered. This authorization is based on the fact that person's registering as a Medicaid provider, payor or payee must have special knowledge in order to register successfully.
Delegated - Individuals registered in the Other Business category will not have application access until authorized by a Medicaid provider or payor. Businesses that want to work on behalf of a Medicaid provider or payor must request authorization. In addition, a payee may also request to work on behalf of a provider.
Business authorization occurs either immediately after registration or after an authorization request has been accepted. A business administrator cannot delegate application access to the registered employees until the business has been authorized.
