CompuGroup (Aprima) Aetna Prior Authorization Automation

Achieve seamless CompuGroup (Aprima) Aetna prior authorization automation. Klivira integrates directly with your EHR to manage complex medical and pharmacy benefit requests.

For ambulatory practices utilizing CompuGroup (Aprima), navigating Aetna's diverse prior authorization submission channels can introduce significant administrative burden and workflow friction. From medical benefit requests routed through Availity or X12 278 to pharmacy benefit authorizations via CVS Caremark and its ePA partners, each pathway demands specific operational adherence. Klivira provides the intelligent automation layer to unify these processes.

Streamlining Aetna Medical Prior Authorizations from Aprima

Klivira integrates with CompuGroup (Aprima) via CGM APIs to automate medical prior authorization submissions to Aetna. This includes routing requests through Aetna's primary provider portal, Availity, and supporting X12 278 transactions for applicable procedure categories. Ambulatory practices can reduce manual data entry and track status directly within their Aprima workflow, ensuring continuity of patient care.

Navigating Aetna Pharmacy Benefit PAs via CVS Caremark

Pharmacy benefit prior authorizations for Aetna, managed by CVS Caremark, involve specific ePA channels like CoverMyMeds and Surescripts for retail prescriptions. Klivira extends Aprima's capabilities by orchestrating these electronic submissions, ensuring accurate patient and prescription data from the EHR is transmitted to the correct ePA partner. This automation streamlines outpatient retail and mail-order pharmacy PA workflows.

Automating Specialty Drug and Complex Medical PAs

For specialty injectable and infused medications under the medical benefit, or complex surgical procedures, Aetna's Clinical Policy Bulletins (CPBs) dictate specific medical necessity criteria. Klivira's platform extracts relevant clinical documentation from Aprima, aligning it with Aetna's CPB requirements. This helps ambulatory practices proactively address documentation needs for high-cost therapies and complex services.

Adhering to Aetna's Utilization Management Standards

Aetna's utilization management operations are governed by state-mandated minimums, NCQA UM accreditation standards, and for Medicare Advantage or Medicaid lines, CMS-0057-F. Klivira's automation platform helps Aprima users monitor the status of Aetna prior authorizations against these varying turnaround timeframes. This ensures timely follow-up and appeals, supporting compliance with applicable regulatory and accreditation requirements.

Klivira's Deep Integration with CompuGroup (Aprima)

Klivira connects directly with CompuGroup (Aprima) through its robust CGM APIs, facilitating seamless, bidirectional data exchange. This integration embeds prior authorization workflows within the Aprima environment, enabling providers and PA coordinators to initiate, track, and manage Aetna requests without leaving their familiar EHR interface. The result is a more efficient, less disruptive prior authorization process for ambulatory practices.
