NextGen Healthcare Devoted Health Prior Authorization Automation

Klivira delivers end-to-end NextGen Healthcare Devoted Health prior authorization automation, integrating directly with your EMR to streamline complex workflows and accelerate approvals.

Revenue cycle teams and prior authorization coordinators utilizing NextGen Healthcare often face significant manual burdens when submitting authorizations to Devoted Health. Navigating payer-specific requirements and disparate submission channels for Medicare Advantage plans can lead to delays, denials, and increased administrative costs.

The Operational Burden of NextGen Healthcare and Devoted Health Prior Authorizations

NextGen Healthcare users, particularly within specialty ambulatory groups, encounter unique challenges with Devoted Health prior authorizations. Devoted Health's focus on Medicare Advantage plans often involves specific clinical criteria and submission pathways, requiring meticulous attention. The manual process of extracting patient data from NextGen, then re-entering it into payer portals or forms, consumes valuable staff time and introduces potential for errors.

Navigating Devoted Health's Prior Authorization Channels

Submitting prior authorizations to Devoted Health typically involves navigating their specific payer portals or manual submission processes. Without direct integration, this means staff must toggle between the NextGen EMR and external systems, manually transcribing information. Klivira centralizes this process, abstracting the complexities of varied payer requirements and submission methods into a unified workflow.

Klivira's Deep Integration with NextGen Healthcare

Klivira integrates directly with NextGen Healthcare, leveraging both its FHIR R4 API and SMART App Launch capabilities. This allows for seamless, context-aware data exchange, pulling essential clinical and administrative data (e.g., Patient, Encounter, Coverage, ServiceRequest, MedicationRequest, DocumentReference) directly from the NextGen EMR. Our solution supports write-back functionality via the NextGen API to deposit PA status updates and documentation.
