Revenue cycle leaders and prior authorization coordinators operating within Veradigm (Allscripts) environments face distinct challenges when managing prior authorizations for Texas Medicaid. Navigating the diverse requirements of the state's managed care organizations (MCOs) and ensuring accurate submission from disparate EMR product lines like TouchWorks EHR or Professional EHR demands a robust, integrated solution.

The Veradigm (Allscripts) Landscape for Texas Medicaid PA

The Veradigm portfolio, encompassing ambulatory solutions like TouchWorks EHR and Professional EHR, alongside the inpatient Sunrise EMR, presents varied integration surfaces. For Texas Medicaid, particularly its STAR and STAR+PLUS managed care programs, efficiently initiating and tracking prior authorizations from these distinct EMR environments is a critical operational challenge, often leading to manual effort and delays.

Integrating Klivira with Veradigm EMRs for Enhanced PA Workflows

Klivira integrates with modern Veradigm EMRs primarily via their FHIR API and SMART App Launch capabilities, available through the Veradigm Developer Program. This enables a seamless launch of the Klivira application directly from the Veradigm clinical UI, providing patient context and allowing for the efficient exchange of PA-relevant data, including Patient, Encounter, Coverage, and ServiceRequest resources.

Navigating Texas Medicaid Prior Authorization Channels

Texas Medicaid prior authorizations, managed by the state's Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) through various MCOs, typically involve submissions via specific payer portals or electronic health information exchange channels. Klivira automates the submission process to these diverse channels, ensuring that requests for STAR and STAR+PLUS members are accurately routed and tracked without extensive manual intervention.

Klivira streamlines the collection of necessary clinical documentation from the EMR, aligning it with specific payer policies to support timely approval for these critical services.
