AVS authorization

Staff must receive authorization in order to run an AVS search. Tickles will be generated approximately 90 days prior to the end of the renewal month for clients who do not have an AVS authorization in place.

Staff should review the case record to determine whether authorization was granted on an application or review form previously received, or authorization was granted and documented in the ACES narrative.

If authorization was granted , update the AVS authorization field to "AVS Authorized."

If authorization is not provided , request AVS authorization from the client.

If there has been a break in medical coverage for more than 30 days, a new authorization is required.
