Which screen should be used to call prescribers for a WCB prescription?

• A. Go to F3 screen and place the WCB in the prescribers field
• B. Call the prescriber number directly
• C. Open the patient file
• D. Use F2 to add prescriber

Answer: (A)

The concept focuses on routing a Workers’ Compensation (WCB) prescription through the correct workflow so billing and approvals are handled properly. On the F3 screen, there is a prescribers field specifically for WCB. Placing the WCB in that field flags the prescription as workers’ compensation and assigns the correct WCB prescriber for billing and authorization. This ensures the claim is processed under the WCB program and follows the intended workflow, preventing misrouting or billing delays. Calling the prescriber directly bypasses the system’s WCB routing, so the claim may not be processed under the WCB workflow. Simply opening the patient file doesn’t configure the WCB pathway. Using another screen to add a prescriber may not apply the WCB designation or route the claim correctly.
