When a prior authorization (PA) is needed, which action in the system specifically moves the PA to the doctor for approval?

• A. Click exceptions, update Rx
• B. Click the 5 fax button along the top
• C. Select send fax and optionally add a comment
• D. Do the same process for a refill request by selecting refill request

Answer: (C)

The action that moves a prior authorization to the doctor for approval is selecting the option to send the fax and, if needed, adding a comment. This explicitly triggers the system’s fax workflow to route the PA information to the prescriber so they can review and approve (or request more details). The comment can include essential details like patient information, justification for the PA, and any supporting data, which helps the doctor make a faster decision. The other options don’t initiate the route to the prescriber. “Exceptions, update Rx” is an administrative change that doesn’t send the PA to the doctor. “The 5 fax button along the top” is a vague action that doesn’t guarantee routing the PA to the prescriber. “Repeating the process for a refill request” describes a different workflow that isn’t the standard PA routing for a new prescription.
