Prior Authorization
The CMS Interoperability & Prior Authorization Final Rule (CMS-0057-F) workflow, at the point of care: CRD — is prior auth required? · DTR — what documentation the payer needs · PAS — assemble & submit the request.
Is prior authorization required?
CRDEnter a payer + code to check.
Documentation the payer will require
DTRThe note check below is local documentation readiness, not a substitute for the payer's DTR questionnaire. Use Fetch payer questionnaire after entering the live-exchange details.
Check a code, then paste the note.
Authorization tracking
RenewalOnce an authorization is granted, track its span. Carelon (PBHS) requires the continued-stay/concurrent request before the last authorized day; this flags the 30/14/7-day reminders and the determination turnaround.
Enter the authorization span to track renewals.
