Accelerate eMDs eviCore Integration for Prior Authorizations
Klivira's eMDs eviCore integration seamlessly connects your ambulatory EHR with eviCore Healthcare, automating the prior authorization process for managed services.
For revenue cycle directors and prior authorization coordinators utilizing CGM eMDs, managing eviCore Healthcare authorizations for radiology, cardiology, and other services can introduce significant administrative overhead and delays. Manual data entry, portal navigation, and status tracking divert valuable resources and impact patient access to care.
Deep Integration with CGM eMDs for eviCore Workflows
Klivira establishes a robust connection with CGM eMDs, formerly known as eMDs Solution Series, leveraging its CGM APIs to embed prior authorization workflows directly within the ambulatory practice environment. This ensures that the initiation and tracking of eviCore authorizations are contextual to patient care and order entry.
Seamless Data Flow for eviCore Submissions within eMDs
- **Order Entry Module:** Automatically trigger authorization requests when eviCore-managed services (e.g., specific radiology CPT codes) are ordered.
- **Patient Chart:** Extract relevant patient demographics, insurance details, and clinical history for comprehensive submissions.
- **Clinical Documentation:** Access diagnosis codes (ICD-10) and supporting clinical notes crucial for medical necessity review.
- **Provider Desktop:** Enable providers to review and attest to clinical information prior to submission, directly within their familiar eMDs interface.
- **Referral Management:** Integrate with existing referral workflows to ensure eviCore requirements are met upfront.
Leveraging eMDs Data and Klivira's Payer Connectivity
Klivira utilizes the structured and unstructured data exposed through CGM eMDs APIs, including patient identifiers, CPT/HCPCS codes, ICD-10 diagnoses, and clinical notes. This EMR-sourced data forms the foundation for automated submissions. Klivira then complements this by interacting directly with eviCore's systems, whether via X12 278 transactions or their proprietary ePA portals, to retrieve specific payer requirements and submit complete authorization requests.
Automating eviCore Authorization Status Updates in eMDs
Post-submission, Klivira continuously monitors the status of eviCore authorizations. Once a determination is made, Klivira automatically ingests the decision (approved, denied, pended) and the associated authorization number. This critical information is then written back into the appropriate fields within the CGM eMDs patient record, ensuring the EMR remains the single source of truth for patient care and administrative data.
Operational Benefits for eMDs Users Managing eviCore
Implementing a dedicated eMDs eviCore integration through Klivira significantly reduces the manual burden on prior authorization coordinators. By automating data extraction, submission, and status updates, practices can reallocate staff resources, minimize errors from re-keying information, and accelerate patient access to vital radiology, cardiology, and musculoskeletal services managed by eviCore.
Frequently asked questions
How does Klivira access patient data from CGM eMDs for eviCore submissions?
Klivira integrates with CGM eMDs via its secure, standards-based APIs. This allows for the extraction of necessary patient demographics, clinical documentation, order details, and diagnosis codes directly from the EMR, ensuring accurate and comprehensive data transfer for eviCore prior authorization requests.
What types of eviCore services are covered by this integration?
This integration specifically targets services managed by eviCore Healthcare, which primarily includes radiology, cardiology, oncology, and musculoskeletal (MSK) procedures. Klivira's automation engine is configured to handle the specific requirements for these benefit categories.
Can Klivira update the eMDs system with eviCore authorization statuses and numbers?
Yes, a core function of the integration is to provide bidirectional data flow. Klivira actively monitors eviCore for authorization determinations and automatically writes back the status (approved, denied, pended) and the authorization reference number directly into the relevant fields within the CGM eMDs patient record.
Is the eMDs eviCore integration compliant with HIPAA standards for PHI?
Klivira is a HIPAA-compliant platform. All data exchanges between CGM eMDs, Klivira, and eviCore Healthcare are conducted through secure, encrypted channels, adhering to industry best practices for protecting ePHI. We operate under strict Business Associate Agreements (BAAs).
How does this integration impact our existing eMDs order entry workflow for eviCore services?
The integration is designed to enhance, not disrupt, your existing eMDs order entry workflow. Prior authorization requests for eviCore-managed services can be automatically initiated at the point of order within eMDs, reducing the need for manual steps and ensuring that authorization requirements are addressed proactively.
