Klivira × gGastro: Advanced Prior Authorization Automation for GI

Klivira integrates directly with gGastro to deliver robust gGastro prior authorization automation, specifically designed for the unique demands of gastroenterology practices.

Gastroenterology practices face distinct prior authorization challenges, from complex endoscopic procedures to specialized medication approvals. Manual processes within gGastro can strain staff resources, delay patient care, and impact financial performance. Klivira automates these critical workflows, transforming your prior authorization operations.

The Challenge of Prior Authorizations in GI

GI practices navigate a high volume of procedure-based prior authorizations, often requiring detailed clinical documentation and specific payer-mandated forms. This complexity, coupled with the need for timely approvals, creates significant administrative burdens that divert staff from patient care and revenue-generating activities.

Klivira's Solution for gGastro Users

Klivira extends gGastro's capabilities by automating the end-to-end prior authorization lifecycle. From initial submission to appeal management, our platform reduces manual data entry, minimizes errors, and provides real-time status updates directly relevant to GI-specific procedures and treatments.

Common prior auth workflows we automate

  • Endoscopy procedures (e.g., colonoscopy, EGD)
  • Advanced imaging (e.g., CT, MRI of abdomen/pelvis)
  • Biologic and specialty medication approvals for GI conditions
  • Durable medical equipment (DME) for GI conditions
  • Office-based procedures requiring pre-certification

Integration Approach

Klivira integrates with gGastro via established ModMed APIs, ensuring secure and efficient data exchange. This direct connection facilitates the seamless flow of patient demographics, clinical notes, and scheduled procedure data, enabling automated submission of X12 278 transactions and direct payer portal interactions without disrupting existing gGastro workflows.

Key Benefits for Gastroenterology Practices
