Accelerate Tebra CT Scan Prior Authorization with Klivira

Klivira streamlines Tebra CT Scan prior authorization workflows, integrating directly with your Kareo EHR to automate the submission process for advanced imaging.

For revenue cycle directors and prior authorization coordinators at independent practices utilizing Tebra, managing CT Scan prior authorizations can be a significant administrative bottleneck. The manual extraction of clinical data and navigation of disparate payer and RBM portals often leads to delays, denials, and staff burnout. Klivira offers a targeted solution to mitigate these challenges.

The Tebra CT Scan Order Workflow and PA Triggers

Within the Tebra (formerly Kareo EHR) platform, ordering a CT Scan typically involves navigating to the patient's chart, selecting the imaging order module, and specifying the procedure, laterality, and associated ICD-10 codes. For advanced imaging like CT Scans, this action often triggers an immediate prior authorization requirement, which Klivira intercepts at the point of order entry.

Leveraging Tebra's Clinical Data for CT Scan PA

Klivira's integration with the Tebra API allows for the automated extraction of critical clinical documentation necessary for CT Scan prior authorization submissions. This includes patient demographics, relevant problem list entries, progress notes detailing symptoms and failed conservative treatments, and any previous imaging reports, all packaged for payer or RBM review.

Streamlining RBM and Payer Submissions for Tebra CT Scans

Many CT Scan prior authorizations, particularly for independent practices using Tebra, are routed through Radiology Benefit Managers (RBMs). Klivira’s platform identifies these routing requirements and automates the submission process, ensuring the correct clinical context, whether via X12 278, NCPDP SCRIPT for ePA, or direct portal integration, reaches the appropriate entity without manual intervention.

Klivira's Integration Architecture with Tebra

Klivira leverages the Tebra API to establish a seamless, bi-directional data flow. This integration enables real-time monitoring of CT Scan orders, automated assembly of clinical packets, and updates on PA status directly back into the Tebra EHR, minimizing staff effort and improving visibility for prior authorization coordinators.

Empowering Tebra Users: Reducing PA Burden for Advanced Imaging

For small independent practices reliant on Tebra, the administrative overhead of CT Scan prior authorizations can be substantial. Klivira's automation significantly reduces the manual tasks associated with advanced imaging PAs, allowing staff to focus on patient care rather than navigating complex payer rules and RBM portals. This operational efficiency translates to faster patient access to necessary diagnostics.
