Authorizations will be issued only after a case has been placed in application status. A written authorization for services shall be made either before or at the same time as the purchase of the services. After eligibility has been determined, in emergency situations that might cause extreme medical risk or loss of placement, or like circumstances, an authorization may be made orally. In such instances there must be prompt documentation and the authorization must be confirmed in writing and forwarded immediately to the provider of the services.
