Simplify Aimovig Prior Authorization with Klivira Automation

Navigating Aimovig prior authorization can be a significant bottleneck for patient access to this critical preventive migraine therapy. Klivira automates the entire process, from submission to approval.

Revenue cycle directors and prior authorization coordinators face increasing pressure to manage complex drug PAs efficiently. For CGRP receptor antagonists like Aimovig (erenumab), specific payer requirements, including step therapy, often lead to delays and administrative burden, impacting both staff productivity and patient care.

The Challenge of Aimovig Prior Authorization

Aimovig, a CGRP receptor antagonist for chronic and episodic migraine, frequently requires prior authorization due to its specialty drug classification and cost. Payers often mandate specific clinical criteria, including failed trials of generic preventive therapies, creating a complex and time-consuming manual workflow for healthcare providers.

Common Aimovig PA Requirements

  • Confirmation of chronic or episodic migraine diagnosis.
  • Documentation of previous trials and failures of alternative preventive therapies (step therapy).
  • Patient-specific clinical data, including migraine frequency and severity.
  • Attestation of prescriber specialty or experience.
  • Justification for continued therapy for renewal requests.
