2. Authorizations that you have created and saved in the last 90 days will be displayed in the ‘Authorizations Submitted Online (last 90 days only)’ view.
3. A 9-digit authorization number is automatically assigned by the system when a user ‘Saves’ an authorization. Use the authorization number hyperlink to view the authorization details for one specific authorization.
4. If your authorization was created more than 90 days ago, you will need to search for it. Click the ‘Search All Authorizations’ link to begin your search.
5. Enter the member’s Subscriber ID number in the Subscriber ID field and click the Search button.
6. After clicking the Search button, the Authorizations for that member will be displayed.
