Prescribed vs. Documented Services
The units of service billed must be equal or less than the units of service authorized on the Medical Practitioner Authorization Form (MPAF). The EasyTrac system does not have an edit check to ensure the units of service equal the units of service authorized but has the ability for the provider to be able to see the duration and frequency of each related service as they are logged. Use the document below for instructions on how EasyTrac can assist you in order to be in compliance with the MA Program. Prescribed Services in an IEP vs Documented Services in EasyTrac
