NextGen Healthcare CHPW Prior Authorization Automation

Klivira delivers robust NextGen Healthcare CHPW prior authorization automation, directly integrating with your NextGen EHR to streamline workflows for Community Health Plan Washington members.

Revenue cycle directors and prior authorization coordinators at specialty ambulatory groups utilizing NextGen Healthcare often face manual, time-consuming processes for securing approvals from Community Health Plan Washington. Navigating CHPW's specific requirements for Medicaid MCO members, combined with the administrative burden of traditional PA submission, can delay patient care and impact financial performance. Klivira provides a targeted solution to automate these critical steps.

The Challenge of Manual CHPW Prior Authorizations from NextGen

For NextGen Healthcare users, initiating and tracking prior authorizations for Community Health Plan Washington members typically involves navigating disparate systems. This often means manually extracting clinical data from the NextGen Patient Chart, Documents, or Orders activity, then transcribing it into CHPW's specific payer portals or ePA channels. This multi-step, manual process is prone to errors, creates workflow bottlenecks, and diverts staff from direct patient care.

Klivira integrates directly with NextGen Healthcare using its robust integration surfaces. Leveraging NextGen's FHIR R4 endpoints, including US Core resources for Patient, Encounter, Coverage, ServiceRequest, and DocumentReference, Klivira accesses the necessary clinical context.
