For Medicare Advantage and Medicaid lines, Klivira also supports considerations for CMS-0057-F turnaround timeframes.

For specialty ambulatory practices managing high-volume services such as advanced imaging, biologics, or certain GLP-1 medications, the prior authorization burden is substantial. Klivira automates the submission and tracking of these critical requests, whether they route through Carelon Medical Benefits Management for imaging or direct Anthem medical benefit channels for specialty drugs, improving overall operational efficiency.
