Medication Prior Authorization Management

The Medication Prior Authorization Management dialog allows you to administer the level of access ePA-Enabled Users have in the ePA Status dialog. ePA Providers can then be mapped to ePA-Enabled Users with a Full or Read level of access on behalf of the mapped provider. Multiple providers can be mapped to an ePA-enabled user. Likewise, an ePA Provider can opt out of all non-final ePA To-Do List notifications. When a provider opts out, they will only receive the final ePA Status To-Do List message in the cycle of prior authorization messages for a patient. Use the following steps to configure the level of access for ePA-Enabled Users.

1. To access the Medication Prior Authorization Management dialog, click Chart > Medication Prior Authorization > Management.
    

2. In the Medication Prior Authorization Management dialog those providers that were tagged with the ePA Enabled option when configuring locations for providers in the Prescriber Setup dialog will appear in the ePA Providers list. Any users that have the Medication Prior Authorization privilege will appear in the ePA-Enabled Users list.
   
   To map a provider to a particular user, highlight the applicable Provider in the ePA Providers column, then highlight Full or Read level of access under the User you wish to map the provider to, and the click the > button.
   
   NOTE: You have the ability to select multiple providers in the ePA Providers column when mapping providers to users. Likewise, you can select the All Providers option if you want to map all of the providers to a particular user.
   
   
   
   
    

3. The Provider will appear under the selected level of access for the User.  Once a provider has been mapped to a user, you have the ability to revoke that mapping by highlighting the Provider underneath the User, and then clicking the < button.
   
   
   
    

4. Repeat steps 2 - 3 until all applicable providers are mapped to the level of access for all applicable users. When mapped as desired, click the Apply button.
    

5. When a user has been mapped to a provider, they will receive all applicable ePA To-Do List notifications for patients associated with the provider. The provider has the ability to opt out of all non-final ePA To-Do List notifications. To do this, right-click the applicable provider, and then click Opt Out.
   
   
   
    

6. Any providers that have opted out of the ePA To-Do List notifications will have a icon next to their name in the ePA Providers list. These providers can opt back into the notifications by right-clicking the Provider, and then clicking Opt In.  
   
   
   
    

7. When finished mapping providers to users and selecting notification options for providers, click the OK button.
