To access the Authorization Queue within SAMMS, click on Third Party in the Tool Bar at the top of the SAMMS screen.
Then click on Authorizations.
The screen will show all authorizations for the clinic you are in. To use the auth que you can sort in several ways.
In the Find Bar, you can choose from any column to narrow down your search.
You can then sort by payer and end date or status of the auth.
You can choose a start and end date range, then refresh. If there are special circumstances, you can add a note by clicking on Add note to selected auth. If new auth is already obtained, you can ignore and move to the next expiring auth. You can refresh the screen to begin another search. The information you have filtered can then be exported to excel and saved as a report.
An Authorization can be hidden or temporarily removed from the production queue when filtering your upcoming authorizations
To access this feature, access the authorization queue and highlight the row/rows that you want to temporarily remove and press “D” on your keyboard
SAMMS will generate a confirmation before removing the authorization from the grid
