# How to use Expiry Dates on Prior Authorizations
## Track expiry dates on Prior Authorizations (PA) and receive reminders before they expire. Authorized users can update the expiry date and reminder timing directly from the patient profile.
**NOTE** By default, all Prior Authorizations expire 1 year after the submission date.
For more information, review: [How to initiate a Digital Prior Authorization.](https://help.auxita.com/how-to-initiate-a-digital-prior-authorization?hsLang=en-ca)
When a Prior Authorization is submitted, an expiry date is automatically applied based on the submission date. You can update this expiry date and adjust reminder timing as needed to match your workflow.
#### **How to set or update an expiry date**
1. Open the patient’s profile.
2. Under Prior Authorizations, locate the form.
3. Click the three ellipses and select **Set Expiry & Reminder.
**
4. In the Set Expiry & Reminder window, choose the **Expiry Date** and **Expiry Reminder timing**.
5. Click **Save** to apply your changes.
** NOTE** You can select reminder periods of 120, 90, 60, or 30 days. This overrides the default 90-day reminder setting.
#### **Reminder notifications**
As a Prior Authorization approaches or passes its expiry date, reminder indicators help identify forms that need attention.
You will see:
- a notification in the **Reminders tile** on the Home dashboard.
- a warning indicator within the Prior Authorization section of the patient profile.
****
**TIP** Expiry reminders appear on the **Home dashboard** and in **summary** emails when notification settings are enabled.
#### **How to turn reminders on or off**
1. Open **Settings** from the bottom-left corner of Auxita.
2. Scroll to **Notification Preferences**.
3. Enable or disable **Expiration of Patient Prior Authorization** by selecting **Show reminders & include in daily summary emails**.
** NOTE** This setting is enabled by default for users with the appropriate permissions.
