Evolved Digital Health Medicaid Prior Authorization Automation

Klivira delivers comprehensive Evolved Digital Health Medicaid prior authorization automation, streamlining the complex, state-specific, and MCO-driven requirements inherent to Medicaid programs for specialty providers.

Revenue cycle leaders and prior authorization coordinators utilizing Evolved Digital Health face unique challenges navigating Medicaid's diverse landscape. The need to manage both Fee-for-Service state agency requirements and varied Managed Care Organization (MCO) protocols directly impacts approval times and staff efficiency, particularly within specialty care settings. Klivira addresses these complexities by integrating directly with your Evolved EHR to centralize and automate PA submissions.

Navigating Medicaid Prior Authorization Complexity from Evolved Digital Health

Specialty practices using Evolved Digital Health frequently encounter the dual challenge of state-specific Medicaid policies and the distinct prior authorization processes of individual Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs). This fragmented landscape often necessitates manual navigation across multiple state and MCO provider portals, diverting valuable staff time from patient care and introducing potential delays in specialty service delivery.

Klivira's Seamless Integration with Evolved Digital Health APIs

Klivira integrates directly with Evolved Digital Health through its native Evolved APIs, enabling a fluid exchange of patient and clinical data. This API-driven connection automates the extraction of necessary information from the Evolved EHR, populating prior authorization requests with precision and reducing the need for manual data entry, thereby enhancing accuracy and efficiency for specialty PA workflows.

Comprehensive Medicaid Payer Connectivity for Specialty Services

Klivira's platform intelligently routes prior authorization requests to the appropriate Medicaid entity, whether a state's Fee-for-Service (FFS) agency via its designated portal or a specific Managed Care Organization (MCO) through its provider portal or X12 278 transactions where supported. This comprehensive connectivity covers common specialty service categories under Medicaid, including advanced imaging, specialty drugs, durable medical equipment (DME), and behavioral health services.

Adapting to CMS-0057-F Requirements for Medicaid MCOs

Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) are designated impacted payers under CMS-0057-F, which mandates specific FHIR-based Prior Authorization API requirements and decision timeframes. Klivira's platform is designed to align with these evolving regulatory demands, facilitating compliance and ensuring that prior authorization requests from Evolved Digital Health users meet the necessary interoperability standards and expedited processing requirements.

Streamlining Specialty Drug and Advanced Imaging PAs

For specialty clinics utilizing Evolved Digital Health, managing prior authorizations for high-cost specialty drugs and advanced imaging procedures is a critical operational bottleneck. Klivira automates the submission of these complex requests, leveraging its understanding of state Medicaid policy libraries and MCO-specific criteria to ensure accurate and timely adjudication, supporting efficient access to essential treatments like biologics and complex diagnostic scans.

Frequently asked questions

How does Klivira handle the difference between Fee-for-Service (FFS) and Managed Care Organization (MCO) Medicaid prior authorizations for Evolved Digital Health users?

Klivira's system automatically identifies the responsible Medicaid delivery model for each patient. It then routes the prior authorization request either to the state Medicaid agency's fiscal agent for FFS cases or to the specific MCO's provider portal or X12 278 channel for managed care members, ensuring the correct pathway is always used.

What kind of data does Klivira pull from Evolved Digital Health for Medicaid PA submissions?

Klivira leverages Evolved APIs to securely extract relevant patient demographics, clinical documentation, diagnostic codes, procedure codes, and treatment plans directly from the Evolved EHR. This data is then used to pre-populate prior authorization forms, minimizing manual data entry and potential errors.

Does Klivira support prior authorizations for specialty drugs and advanced imaging under Medicaid from Evolved Digital Health?

Yes, Klivira is specifically designed to manage complex prior authorizations for specialty services, including high-cost specialty drugs (e.g., biologics) and advanced imaging (e.g., MRI, CT scans). The platform navigates the state-specific and MCO-specific criteria to streamline these critical requests.

How does Klivira address the state-by-state variation in Medicaid prior authorization rules?

Klivira maintains an extensive library of state-specific Medicaid medical necessity criteria and MCO policies. The platform applies these rules dynamically to each prior authorization request, ensuring that submissions from Evolved Digital Health users are compliant with the precise requirements of the relevant state Medicaid program or MCO.

Is Klivira compliant with the new CMS-0057-F rule for Medicaid Managed Care Organizations?

Klivira's platform development roadmap aligns with the phased implementation of CMS-0057-F, particularly regarding the FHIR-based Prior Authorization API requirements and decision timeframes for Medicaid MCOs. We facilitate the necessary data exchange to help Evolved Digital Health users meet these interoperability and processing standards.
