Quick Reference — To authorize a physician authorization document that a practice user annotated, signed, and submitted on your behalf
For physician authorization documents, users who have the Clinicals: Order/Prescription Sign-off permission can grant delegate permissions to users who do not have this permission. As delegates, non-provider users can annotate and fax back physician authorization documents using the Annotation complete. Submit by Fax & Next button.
Note: For more information about how providers can grant permissions to delegates, see To delegate sign-off permissions for physician authorization documents.
The provider who delegated the signing of physician authorization documents must authorize any such documents that were annotated, signed, and submitted on the provider's behalf by a practice staff user within three business days. If this authorization does not take place within three business days, the designated practice staff user loses access to sign and submit documents on the provider's behalf.
