When set to False this hides the "Submit As Procedure" dropdown in the Client Authorization maintenance window (accessed via Client Master > Auths tab > Create Authorizations button). If your agency does not use the Submit As Procedure option, you can now hide this option to help prevent any misconfigurations.

Previously this only displayed procedure code and description.

• The medical Excuse form has been updated to include agency name as specified in the Claimtrak master to top of the form.

• To prevent any possible Surescripts compliance issues, the Dispense Quantity drop down option ‘unspecified’ has been expired.

If the agency chooses to enable the code, a pop up message appears advising this should be used in a limited fashion.
