Automating PointClickCare Spinal Fusion Prior Authorization

Klivira streamlines PointClickCare Spinal Fusion prior authorization, integrating directly with PCC to extract essential clinical data and accelerate payer approvals.

For facilities utilizing PointClickCare, managing prior authorizations for complex orthopedic procedures like spinal fusion presents unique challenges. The need to demonstrate medical necessity, often requiring extensive conservative care documentation, can strain revenue cycle operations. Klivira addresses this by automating the ePA process, leveraging your existing PCC clinical context.

The Unique Context of PointClickCare and Spinal Fusion PA

PointClickCare (PCC) is a cornerstone EMR for long-term care, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), and senior living. Patients in these settings often present with complex medical histories, multiple comorbidities, and extensive conservative care records, all highly relevant to spinal fusion prior authorization. Klivira understands this specialized context, ensuring that all pertinent clinical data within PCC is accurately captured for submission.

Streamlining Spinal Fusion Order Entry in PointClickCare

Within PointClickCare, a physician or care team member initiates orders for a spinal fusion procedure, which often includes associated imaging (MRI, X-ray), specialist consultations, physical therapy, and potentially durable medical equipment (DME). Klivira integrates with these PCC order sets, identifying procedures requiring prior authorization at the point of order. This early detection prevents downstream delays and ensures the PA process begins proactively.

Key Clinical Documentation Leveraged from PointClickCare for PA

Patient demographics, insurance, and payer-specific details.
Comprehensive conservative care history (physical therapy, chiropractic care, medications, injections) and duration.
Diagnostic imaging reports (MRI, CT scans, X-rays) and radiologist interpretations.
Specialist consultation notes, including orthopedic surgeon and pain management evaluations.
Psychological evaluations for chronic pain management, if required by the payer.
Functional status assessments, pain scales, and quality of life indicators.

Integrating PCC Order Sets with Payer ePA Channels

Klivira connects directly with PointClickCare APIs, allowing for a seamless flow of information from PCC's order sets to payer prior authorization channels. This integration facilitates the automated assembly of necessary clinical documentation for submission via X12 278, NCPDP SCRIPT for pharmacy components, or through payer-specific portals and the Da Vinci PAS workflow. Our platform ensures that the right data is sent to the right payer in the correct format, minimizing manual data entry and reducing errors.
