Veradigm (Allscripts) MetroPlusHealth Prior Authorization Automation

Klivira delivers Veradigm (Allscripts) MetroPlusHealth prior authorization automation, transforming a historically manual and burdensome process into an efficient, integrated workflow.

Healthcare organizations utilizing Veradigm (Allscripts) EMRs, including TouchWorks EHR and Professional EHR, face unique challenges when managing prior authorizations for MetroPlusHealth, a prominent NYC-based public-benefit Medicaid plan. The administrative overhead of navigating diverse payer requirements from within disparate EMR product lines often leads to delays, denials, and revenue cycle inefficiencies.

Navigating Prior Authorizations for Veradigm (Allscripts) Users with MetroPlusHealth

The Veradigm (Allscripts) portfolio encompasses several distinct EMR products, each with its own operational nuances. Submitting prior authorizations to MetroPlusHealth, with its specific requirements for Medicaid beneficiaries in New York, necessitates a deep understanding of both the EMR's data architecture and the payer's submission pathways. This complexity often creates bottlenecks for prior authorization coordinators and revenue cycle teams.

Klivira's Seamless Integration with Veradigm (Allscripts) EMRs

Klivira leverages the Veradigm Developer Program to integrate directly with your EMR environment. We utilize FHIR R4 APIs for secure, standards-based access to critical patient and clinical data, including Patient, Encounter, Coverage, and ServiceRequest resources. For a contextual user experience, Klivira supports SMART App Launch, enabling our application to be invoked directly from within the Veradigm clinical UI while maintaining patient context.

Key Integration Points for Prior Authorization Workflows

**Patient Chart:** Accessing patient demographics, history, and coverage information.
**Clinical Documentation/Notes:** Extracting supporting clinical data for medical necessity reviews.
**Orders Activity/e-Prescribing:** Identifying services or medications requiring prior authorization at the point of order.
**Tasks/Worklists:** Routing PA-related follow-up items and payer correspondence to the appropriate staff.
**FollowMyHealth:** Potentially integrating patient-facing notifications related to PA status.

Streamlining MetroPlusHealth Prior Authorizations from Veradigm Workflows

Klivira automates the prior authorization submission process for MetroPlusHealth, connecting directly to their electronic submission pathways and payer portals. By intelligently extracting necessary clinical data from your Veradigm EMR, we pre-populate forms and manage the submission, tracking, and communication lifecycle. This significantly reduces manual data entry and improves the accuracy and speed of approvals for MetroPlusHealth's Medicaid-focused services.

Optimizing Prior Authorization for Medicaid-Relevant Services

Given MetroPlusHealth's focus as a public-benefit Medicaid plan, common prior authorization triggers include specialty medications (e.g., biologics, certain high-cost drugs), advanced imaging (MRI, CT scans), durable medical equipment (DME), and specific surgical procedures. Klivira's platform is designed to handle the detailed clinical documentation requirements for these service lines, ensuring comprehensive and compliant submissions from your Veradigm EMR.
