Executive summary. Give authorization staff one place to read the payer-specific guidance your organization maintains.

Definition

Payer Rules is the Attergo Authorizations reference area for payer-specific operating guidance.

Who this is for

Authorization managers who maintain the guidance, and the specialists who apply it.

How to begin

Open Authorizations, select Payer Rules, and find the payer before preparing a case. Read the effective guidance and any notes your team has added.

Complete the workflow

Where guidance looks incomplete or out of date, route the update to the rule owner rather than adjusting case information to compensate.

Frequently asked questions

Are payer rules a substitute for payer confirmation?

No. Use them as an operational reference, and verify current payer requirements when a case turns on them.
