ProAuth™ Dashboard – Helpful Hints
- To be able to view Authorizations or Referrals the Requesting or Servicing Provider must be an exact match to an option in your Provider Filter.
- Your Provider Filter shows what your access permissions are for viewing authorizations and referrals.
- You can view requests you entered as the Requesting Provider AND requests entered by other health systems that have been sent to you as the Servicing Provider.
- For most health systems the Provider Filter contains practice locations and facilities and does NOT contain individual providers.
Best Practice: Enter the Practice Location of the requesting provider into the Requesting Provider field and to enter the Requesting Provider's name in the Notes
