# How to Sign a Prior Authorization

## Learn how to capture patient consent and sign Prior Authorizations from the Home Dashboard, Programs Section, or Patient Program Details.

Prior Authorizations can be reviewed and signed from three areas of the platform: **the Home Dashboard**, the **Programs Section**, and the **Patient’s Program Details**. 

#### **On the Home Dashboard**

1. Navigate to the **Awaiting Signature** Section.
2. From the View All dropdown, choose Prior Authorization to see any pending forms.
3. Click **Sign Form** or **Review and Sign** to open, review, and sign the document.

#### **In the Programs Section**

1. Scroll to the **Status Table**.
2. Under Reimbursement, filter by **Awaiting Signatures**, and then select the **Assigned to Me** checkbox. This will display all Prior Authorizations requiring your signature.

3. Open or **delete** a form by clicking its underlined name or by selecting the ellipsis next to it and choosing **View PA.**

4. After reviewing, sign the form and either **Send for Patient Signature** or **Submit.**

#### **From the Patient's Program Details**

1. Open the patient's profile and scroll to the **Programs Overview.**
2. Locate the **Prior Authorizations** tile and click the underlined form name.
