PointClickCare TRICARE Prior Authorization Automation

Klivira delivers robust PointClickCare TRICARE prior authorization automation, specifically engineered to navigate the unique complexities of long-term and senior care settings while optimizing submissions to TRICARE's regional contractors.

For facilities utilizing PointClickCare, managing prior authorizations for TRICARE beneficiaries presents distinct operational challenges. The interplay between long-term care workflows, TRICARE's regional administration, and varying policy requirements often leads to delays and administrative burden. Klivira streamlines this critical process, integrating directly with your EMR to automate TRICARE prior authorization submissions.

Navigating TRICARE Prior Authorizations from PointClickCare

PointClickCare (PCC) is the EMR backbone for numerous long-term care, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), and senior living communities. When serving TRICARE beneficiaries, providers face the added complexity of a government health benefit administered by regional contractors: Humana Military for TRICARE East and TriWest Healthcare Alliance for TRICARE West. Each contractor maintains distinct provider portals and operational processes for prior authorization submissions, requiring precise routing and adherence to specific guidelines.

Klivira's Direct Integration with PointClickCare APIs

Klivira integrates directly with PointClickCare APIs, embedding prior authorization workflows within your existing EMR environment. This direct connection facilitates the seamless extraction of necessary clinical data, patient demographics, and order details from the PCC record. By automating data transfer, Klivira eliminates manual data entry, reduces transcription errors, and ensures that TRICARE prior authorization requests are initiated with accurate and complete information, directly from the source of truth.

Automating TRICARE Regional Contractor Workflows

Our platform intelligently identifies the beneficiary's TRICARE region (East or West) and routes the prior authorization request to the appropriate contractor—Humana Military or TriWest. Klivira then interfaces with the respective contractor's provider portal and PA processes, automating submission steps. This includes navigating specific forms and data fields, ensuring that requests align with the operational requirements of each regional administrator and their implementation of TRICARE medical policies published via tricare.mil.

Streamlining PA for Long-Term and Senior Care Services

Prior authorizations for TRICARE beneficiaries in long-term care settings often involve services like skilled nursing facility admissions, durable medical equipment (DME), specialized therapies, and certain medication classes. Klivira's automation adapts to these diverse service lines, ensuring that each request is prepared and submitted according to TRICARE's utilization management policies. Our system accounts for factors such as network status (TRICARE Prime vs Select), which can influence PA scope and referral requirements.

Enhanced Compliance and Oversight

Automation of TRICARE prior authorizations through Klivira not only improves efficiency but also enhances compliance. By standardizing submission processes and leveraging direct EMR data, facilities can ensure that all required documentation is included and accurately reflects the patient's care plan within PointClickCare. This systematic approach provides a clear audit trail and helps minimize the risk of denials due to administrative errors, supporting robust revenue cycle management.
