# E-Authorization

**Electronic Authorization** allows the healthcare facilities to obtain prior approval from the insurance provider before delivering services. This process helps prevent revenue loss by reducing the risk of claim rejection for the procedures.

Doctor or other medical professional use the **E-Auth Request** available in the **Price Card** pop-up screen to raise the E-Authorization request.

***

## Steps to raise an E-Authorization request

* Open the **Medical Records** screen by navigating to **Home > Patient Queue > Current Medical Records**.
* In the **Diagnosis** tab, raise an **E-Authorization request** by using the **Individual** or **Overall Price Card**. Select the appropriate **Price Card** to open the pop-up.
