Request Payor Authorization Page Help

This window allows you to add, view and remove authorization requests from a Payor for a Payor Submitter. In addition, the authorization process is supported by E-mail Notifications.

Business Rules

Requesting authorization from a payor that the business has already requested authorization from is considered a duplicate request, and will be rejected if the request if pending, active or inactive due to action by the payor administrator.

You can remove an authorization request from any payor, regardless of its present status. Once an authorization request is removed, it will no longer display on this page. If necessary, you can re-request authorization from the same payor after the authorization has been removed.

You must enter all required fields. The payor name and payor number must match HFS's Payor DB entry exactly.

If a payor is not registered, a message "Payor Not Registered" will display in the Payor Name field.

Warning: If you fail to correctly enter the payor name and payor number 5 times, your account will be locked, and you will be forwarded to the MEDI Account Locked page. You will have to contact Network Services to get your account unlocked. Review HFS's Contact Information for more information.
