How to get Authorization number printed on HCFA 1500

The way to get this Authorization number to print on the paper claim is to suppress the CLIA number. Since they share the same block on the printed form, the system is letting that take precedence. The way to do this is to temporarily uncheck the “Include default CLIA on all claims” under Admin -> Location -> Preferences. Remember to save on this screen:

 

 

You can always change it back afterwards. This setting is used to just include the CLIA number on every claim.

For example, for lab code 87880, if this is on any claim, the system will pull in the CLIA number for that claim.
