Delete Historical Authorizations

With the Delete Historical Authorizations function, you can delete all the authorization information entered on patient accounts prior to a specified date.

Upon accessing this function you will need to select the date you want to delete authorizations through. Note: This date does not represent the authorization's effective or termination date; it is the date the authorization was originally entered on the patient's account. You cannot use this function to delete authorizations that are more recent than the default date, which is six months (180 days) prior to the current date. You can change it to a prior date if necessary.

Every authorization that was entered on the date equal or prior to the specified date will be deleted. When this function has completed, the message 'Historical Authorizations have been deleted' will be displayed.

Each time this function is performed, the User code for the employee that performed it and the Date and Time it was completed, will be stored in the Deletion of Historical Authorizations category in the System Log.
