Authorization #

Authorization #:  The Authorization # will print in Box23 on the HCFA / CMS form.

Note:  Quixote Authorization # (tracking) is aanother powerful feature that makes resubmitting insurance claims a snap. Never worry about which Authorization # will print on a claim form. Quixote looks at the dates of service and then matches the correct Authorization #, based on the Begin and End dates.

Add Button:  Click the Add button to add an Authorization #

Authorization #:  Enter the Authorization #.

Begin Date:  Enter the Beginning (effective) Date for this Authorization #. Clicking the box will automatically display today's date.  To change the date, click on the date or use the drop down calendar.

End Date: Enter the End Date for this Authorization # (Date this Authorization # is no longer valid). Clicking the box will automatically display today's date.  To change the date, click on the date or use the drop down calendar.

Number of visits:  Enter the Number of Visits that have been Authorized (this authorization # is for)

Number of visits used:  Enter the Number of Visits already used, if applicable

Note:  This is a powerful feature of Quixote.  The Begin and End Dates and/or Number of Visits eliminates the need to track the applicable Authorization # per date of service.  Quixote will keep track of the correct Authorization # per date of service automatically.

Example:

Authorization # 4568  Begins 10/21/2008 and Ends 11/21/2008

Authorization # 32168545 Begins 12/09/2008 and Ends 01/06/2009

All dates of service between 10/21/2008 and 11/21/08 will have Authorization # 4568

All dates of service between 12/09/2008 and 01/06/2009 will have Authorization # 32168545
