NextGen Healthcare UnitedHealthcare Prior Authorization Automation

Klivira delivers robust NextGen Healthcare UnitedHealthcare prior authorization automation, directly addressing the complexities faced by specialty ambulatory groups.

For clinics utilizing NextGen Healthcare, managing prior authorizations for UnitedHealthcare can be a significant operational bottleneck. The manual effort of navigating UHCprovider.com, coordinating with OptumRx for specialty drugs, and tracking diverse service line requirements diverts critical staff resources and can delay patient care within your NextGen environment.

Navigating UnitedHealthcare Prior Authorizations from NextGen

Submitting prior authorizations to UnitedHealthcare from a NextGen Healthcare EMR often involves a fragmented workflow. Providers typically access UHCprovider.com for medical and behavioral health PAs, leverage ePA partners like CoverMyMeds or Surescripts for pharmacy benefits, or utilize direct X12 278 submissions where available. This multi-channel approach, compounded by NextGen's focus on specialty groups, necessitates a streamlined solution.

Klivira's Integration with NextGen Healthcare

Klivira integrates directly with NextGen Healthcare (including NextGen Enterprise and NextGen Office) to embed prior authorization workflows within your existing EMR environment. Leveraging NextGen Connect (Mirth) and FHIR capabilities, Klivira acts as an intelligent layer, extracting necessary clinical data and patient demographics to populate and submit authorization requests without requiring staff to leave the NextGen interface. This minimizes context switching and data re-entry errors.

Automating UHC Submissions: Medical, Pharmacy, and Imaging

Our platform intelligently routes prior authorization requests to UnitedHealthcare based on service type and payer requirements. For medical PAs, Klivira can leverage UHC's X12 278 support or automate submissions via UHCprovider.com. Specialty drug prior authorizations, often managed by OptumRx, are seamlessly handled through ePA channels, ensuring compliance with NCPDP SCRIPT standards. This comprehensive approach covers the diverse needs of NextGen specialty practices.

Targeted PA Workflows for Specialty Ambulatory Groups

By automating these specific workflows, we address the most burdensome PA categories for NextGen users.
