Veradigm (Allscripts) Durable Medical Equipment Prior Authorization

Klivira streamlines Veradigm (Allscripts) Durable Medical Equipment prior authorization by integrating directly with your EHR system, automating the submission and tracking process.

Durable Medical Equipment (DME) prior authorizations are often complex, characterized by highly heterogeneous payer rules and frequent documentation gaps. For healthcare organizations leveraging Veradigm's comprehensive EHR portfolio, managing DME PAs manually can strain revenue cycle operations. Klivira provides a purpose-built solution to automate this critical workflow.

Optimizing DME Prior Authorization Workflows in Veradigm EHRs

Veradigm (formerly Allscripts) offers a robust suite of EHR solutions, including TouchWorks EHR for larger ambulatory groups, Professional EHR for smaller practices, and Sunrise for inpatient settings. Each system presents specific opportunities for optimizing DME prior authorization, a category known for its diverse requirements across payers and high administrative burden. Klivira's platform is designed to navigate these complexities, integrating directly with your Veradigm environment.

DME Order Entry and Prior Authorization Triggers within Veradigm

Within Veradigm's ambulatory products like TouchWorks EHR and Professional EHR, and the inpatient Sunrise system, clinicians typically initiate Durable Medical Equipment requests through the 'Orders activity' or 'e-Prescribing' modules. These order placements serve as the natural trigger points for prior authorization workflows. Klivira intercepts these triggers, initiating the automated PA process without requiring manual intervention from your staff, ensuring no necessary authorization is missed.

Leveraging Veradigm Clinical Documentation for DME Prior Authorization

Effective DME prior authorization relies on comprehensive clinical documentation. Klivira integrates with Veradigm's 'Patient Chart' and 'Clinical Documentation / Notes' sections to automatically extract relevant data. This includes patient demographics, diagnoses (Condition), encounters (Encounter), and service requests (ServiceRequest), which are crucial for building a complete PA packet. For inpatient settings using Sunrise, similar data points are accessed from clinician documentation and orders activity.

Seamless Veradigm Integration for Automated DME ePA Submissions

Klivira connects to Veradigm EHRs through the Veradigm Developer Program, leveraging modern FHIR R4 APIs for US Core resources such as Patient, Coverage, and DocumentReference. We utilize SMART App Launch to provide a seamless user experience directly within the clinical UI, ensuring patient context is maintained. This integration enables Klivira to programmatically assemble and submit X12 278 transactions or interact with payer portals, automating the prior authorization submission for Durable Medical Equipment.

Managing DME Prior Authorization Workflows and Status Updates

Beyond submission, Klivira automates the tracking and management of DME prior authorizations. We utilize Veradigm's 'Tasks / Worklists' and, where supported, write-back capabilities to push real-time status updates, payer correspondence, and any requests for additional information directly into your clinical workflows. This maintains a single source of truth within your Veradigm system, streamlining follow-up and appeals.
