Q. Why is there no authorization letter available for a client I have been providing service to, and have been billing for, in previous months?

If you are new to online invoicing and have already received a paper authorization letter, you will not be able to view the authorization letter online.  Only authorizations entered after you registered for online invoicing will be viewable online.  You will no longer receive paper authorization letters.  If you are not new to online invoicing and have provided service to a client without receiving an authorization letter and/or invoice, contact the client’s service worker.


Q. Why is there no invoice available for a client I have provided service to?

If you have provided service to a client without receiving an authorization letter and/or invoice, contact the client’s service worker.


Q. What does each status of the Authorization Letter mean?

The status of a Authorization letter can be one of two types. The status determines in which section the letter is located.

Not Reviewed – This status will show on an Authorization Letter when a new letter is available, but has not been reviewed by the user. Authorization Letters with a status of Not Reviewed will only be listed under New and Pending Items.
Reviewed – This status will show on an Authorization Letter when a user has opened an Authorization Letter.  The status of Reviewed will only be listed under Past and Completed Items.

Q. What does each status of the Invoice mean?

The status of an invoice could be in the New and Pending section or the Past and Completed section, at different times in the invoice approval process.

Pending Input – A status of Pending Input indicates the invoice is ready for the user to input units to be submitted for review for payment approval.
Pending CD Approval – A status of Pending CD Approval indicates an invoice has been submitted and is now awaiting review by Children’s Division staff for payment approval or denial.
Denied by CD – A status of Denied by CD indicates an invoice has been submitted, but has been denied payment approval.  The user should be able to review the invoice for the denial reason.
Approved by CD – A status of Approved by CD indicates the invoice has been reviewed and given approval for payment on the next payroll.  This does not mean that the payment is guaranteed.  The approved line items will have to pass system edits during the payroll process to validate payment.
Partially Paid – A status of Partially Paid indicates the invoice has been partially approved for payment and a payment has been processed through the Children’s Division’s payroll.  An invoice with open line items and a status of Partially Paid can have open line items submitted until all line items have been submitted and/or processed.
Invoice Paid – A status of Invoice Paid indicates the invoice has been paid in full and no further submission for payment approval is allowed.
Processed – A status of Processed indicates the invoice has been zeroed out by the user and nothing has been submitted for payment approval.  No further action is allowed on the invoice.



Invoice Entry

Q. Why can’t I update/enter on an invoice with a status of Pending Input?

If the invoice was issued as a paper invoice, you will not be able to update or bill online for services provided.  Only invoices issued after you registered for online invoicing are available to update/bill online.  Invoices issued as paper invoices are available online for viewing only.
If you are a sub-user and you have only been granted inquiry access, you have not been granted access to update an invoice.  Contact your organization’s master user for more information.
If the invoice has been issued after you have registered as an online provider and you are not a sub-user with only inquiry access, please contact the FACES Help Desk at (800) 392-8725 or (573) 751-3811, option 5, for technical assistance.


Q. Why can’t I click One Unit Per Day and have all boxes populate?

The One Unit Per Day button is for clients authorized for service for the service month.  Children’s Treatment Services are not authorized for the service month, therefore the One Unit Per Day button is disabled.


Q. Why am I required to input a note for invoiced units over the number of units authorized?

For payment approval to be considered for units invoiced over the max authorized, you will need to provide a valid explanation as to why you provided more units of service than authorized.  A note must be entered to successfully submit the invoice.


Q. Why am I required to input a note for 10 units invoiced if I am authorized to provide 2 units of service per week and I have not gone over the authorized amount?

The FACES system identifies 2 units per week as 8 units or 4 weeks per month.  There are times when there are 5 weeks of service provided.  You will need to enter a note regarding the 5th week of service, to explain the 10 units invoiced.


Q. What if I can’t get my documents to upload?

Contact the FACES Help Desk at (800) 392-8725 or (573) 751-3811, option 5, for technical assistance.


Q. What if I uploaded the wrong document and I need to retrieve it or delete it from the invoice?

Once a document has been uploaded, you cannot retrieve it or delete it from the invoice.  However, you can add additional documents for supporting documentation.


Q. What if I uploaded a document and need to view it to determine if I uploaded the correct document?

Once a document has been uploaded, you will not be able to view the document.  If you are concerned you uploaded an incorrect document, you can upload the correct document, in addition to the document you are unsure of.
