Operations

Identifies the user ID or system account that last updated a pre-service authorization record. Supports audit trail requirements in utilization management by tracking which staff member or automated process modified the precertification request, approval status, or clinical details.

The timestamp recording the most recent update to a pre-service authorization record in payer, utilization management, or EHR systems. PRECERT_MOD_DT is essential for data engineers implementing incremental ETL loads, change data capture pipelines, and audit trail tracking across authorization management platforms.

Records the exact timestamp when a pre-service authorization record was last updated in the utilization management system. Used in audit logging and workflow tracking to sequence changes to authorization status, approved units, or clinical criteria decisions.

A descriptive text label assigned to a pre-service authorization record or authorization type within payer, utilization management, or EHR systems. PRECERT_NM enables data engineers to map authorization categories to procedure codes, build user-readable reporting dimensions, and support provider portal display logic.

Unstructured or semi-structured annotation text appended to a pre-service authorization record in utilization management, payer, or EHR systems, capturing clinical rationale, reviewer comments, or follow-up requirements. PRECERT_NT is processed by data engineers for NLP pipelines, audit documentation, and clinical review workflow integration.

An externally visible reference number assigned to a pre-service authorization, used by providers, members, and payers to identify and track an approved service request across claims, EHR, and utilization management systems. PRECERT_NBR is a critical cross-system join key for authorization-to-claim matching and denial management workflows.

Captures the date when the member's condition or symptoms first began, as reported on the pre-service authorization request. Used by utilization management reviewers to assess medical necessity and determine whether the requested service aligns with the clinical timeline.

The blood oxygen level for a pre-service authorization. Used in healthcare data management and clinical workflows. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for precertification management and reporting.

Records the dollar amount paid by the health plan against a pre-service authorization once associated claims are adjudicated. Used in utilization management and financial reporting to reconcile authorized versus actual payment amounts for approved services.

Records the date on which payment was issued against a pre-service authorization after the corresponding claim was adjudicated. Used in financial reconciliation and utilization management reporting to track payment timelines relative to authorization approvals.

A reference to a higher-level pre-service authorization record from which a child or subordinate authorization is derived within payer or utilization management systems. PRECERT_PRNT enables data engineers to reconstruct authorization hierarchies, link episode-level groupings, and trace multi-service approval chains in complex care management pipelines.

A numeric ratio value associated with a pre-service authorization, representing approval rates, utilization thresholds, or cost-sharing parameters in payer or utilization management systems. PRECERT_PCT is used by data engineers in financial modeling, authorization analytics, and benefit configuration validation workflows across claims platforms.

The defined date range during which a pre-service authorization is valid for covered service delivery and claims submission in payer or utilization management systems. PRECERT_PRD is used by data engineers to enforce adjudication eligibility windows, measure authorization utilization rates, and support prior authorization compliance reporting.

The telephone contact number associated with a pre-service authorization request or reviewing entity, stored in payer, utilization management, or provider portal systems. PRECERT_PH is used by data engineers to populate provider communication records, support outreach workflow automation, and validate contact data in authorization management platforms.

Stores the preferred or display name associated with a pre-service authorization record, such as a standardized service description or program label. Used in utilization management portals and reporting tools to present authorization information in a consistent, human-readable format.

Captures the estimated or contracted cost associated with the service or procedure covered under a pre-service authorization. Used in utilization management and financial planning to assess the anticipated expense of approved medical services prior to claim submission.

A flag that designates whether a pre-service authorization is the primary authorization when multiple authorizations exist for a member episode of care. Used in utilization management systems to determine which authorization should be applied first during claims adjudication.

A coded ranking value in payer or utilization management systems indicating the urgency or processing tier of a pre-service authorization request, such as routine, urgent, or emergent. PRECERT_PRTY drives workflow routing logic and SLA enforcement, and is used by data engineers to segment authorization queues in operational reporting.

The heart rate value for a pre-service authorization. Used in healthcare data management and clinical workflows. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for precertification management and reporting.

A numeric value in payer or utilization management systems representing the approved unit count, visit limit, or service volume associated with a pre-service authorization. PRECERT_QTY is used by data engineers to validate claims against authorized quantities, track utilization against approved limits, and flag overutilization in authorization analytics pipelines.
