In Salesforce Health Cloud, when dealing with prior authorizations, the correct data model objects are:

Service Preauth → Represents the overall prior authorization request (at the header level).

Preauth Detail → Captures the individual service line items or outcomes associated with the prior authorization.

This structure allows Health Cloud to integrate with an external utilization management system that handles the full prior authorization process. The Service Preauth object acts as the container for the request, while Preauth Detail records capture outcomes, decisions, and details returned from the external system.

This is exactly suited to the requirement:

“The provider requires a display of preauthorization outcomes from its external system which manages the end-to-end prior authorization process.”

Why not the others?

A. Plan Benefit and Plan Benefit Item – These are used to model insurance plan coverage and benefits, not authorization workflows.

B. Care Preauth and Care Preauth Item – These are older, deprecated objects in favor of the Service Preauth data model.

D. Care Request and Care Request Item – These are used to track referrals and service requests (e.g., a doctor requesting lab work), but not prior authorization outcomes.

Salesforce Health Cloud Reference:

???? Salesforce Health Cloud Developer Guide – Utilization Management Data Model:

“The Service Preauth object represents the prior authorization request and its details. The Preauth Detail object contains service line items and outcomes for the prior authorization request.”

Salesforce Health Cloud Implementation Guide – Prior Authorizations

In Salesforce Health Cloud’s Identity Verification framework , you can configure which search parameters (such as date of birth, SSN, phone number, etc.) are used by customer service representatives to verify a member or patient’s identity.

To add a new search parameter , you configure an Identity Verification Parameter Item record.

Identity Verification Parameter Item → Defines the actual search fields that will be used in the verification process.

These parameter items are tied to the Identity Verification Process Detail to determine how the verification is performed .

Why not the others?

A. Verification Search Feature – This controls whether identity verification search is enabled, but not the specific search parameters.

B. Identity Verification Process Detail – This defines the steps and rules of the verification process, but doesn’t store the search fields themselves.

D. Linked Identity Search Detail – Used to configure linked identities across systems , not to add new search parameters.

Salesforce Health Cloud Reference:

“To configure the search fields that agents use for member or patient identity verification, create and manage Identity Verification Parameter Item records.”
