TruBridge (CPSI) UnitedHealthcare Prior Authorization Automation

Klivira automates TruBridge (CPSI) UnitedHealthcare prior authorization workflows, streamlining submissions for rural and community hospitals.

Rural and community hospitals utilizing TruBridge (CPSI) face distinct operational challenges in managing prior authorizations, particularly with a high-volume payer like UnitedHealthcare. Navigating UHC's diverse submission channels, from the UHCprovider.com portal to X12 278 transactions and various ePA partners, often introduces significant administrative burden and potential for delays.

Streamlining UnitedHealthcare Prior Authorizations from TruBridge (CPSI)

TruBridge (CPSI) users frequently interact with UnitedHealthcare's multi-channel prior authorization ecosystem. This includes direct submissions via the UHCprovider.com portal for medical benefits, X12 278 transactions for eligible procedures, and OptumRx's systems or ePA partners like CoverMyMeds and Surescripts for pharmacy benefits. Manually navigating these disparate workflows from a TruBridge environment can significantly strain revenue cycle operations.

Seamless Integration with TruBridge via API

Klivira integrates directly with TruBridge (CPSI) utilizing its TruBridge API, enabling a seamless flow of clinical and demographic data for prior authorization requests. This connection extracts necessary information from the Evident or Thrive EHR, pre-populating PA forms and significantly reducing manual data entry. For UnitedHealthcare, this means accelerated initiation of requests, whether destined for the UHC provider portal or electronic channels.

Optimizing UnitedHealthcare's Complex PA Workflows

Klivira's platform is engineered to navigate UnitedHealthcare's specific prior authorization requirements across medical and pharmacy benefits. This includes routing specialty drug PAs through OptumRx's systems or appropriate ePA partners, managing medical benefit requests that align with UHC's Medical Policy Library, and addressing inpatient admission notifications. The system aids in structuring requests to meet UHC's criteria, referencing policies that may be based on MCG or NCCN where applicable.

Enhancing Compliance and Turnaround Times

Automation assists TruBridge users in meeting UnitedHealthcare's varied turnaround time requirements, which are influenced by state regulations, NCQA Utilization Management accreditation standards, and for specific lines of business, CMS-0057-F mandates. Klivira helps structure submissions to support timely decisions, reducing delays and improving the patient experience. Organizations should discuss specific compliance considerations with their internal teams.
