Klivira provides comprehensive palliative & hospice prior authorization automation, specifically designed to navigate the complexities of end-of-life care approvals. Our platform reduces administrative burden, allowing your team to focus on patient-centered care.

Managing prior authorizations for palliative and hospice services presents unique challenges, from varying levels of care to specialized medication and equipment needs. Revenue cycle directors and prior authorization coordinators face increasing pressure to ensure timely approvals, which directly impacts patient access to critical support. Klivira streamlines these processes, integrating seamlessly with your existing EMR.

The Unique Landscape of Palliative & Hospice Prior Authorization

Palliative and hospice care involve distinct authorization requirements for services ranging from initial hospice election to ongoing levels of care like General Inpatient (GIP) and Continuous Home Care. These often necessitate detailed clinical documentation and adherence to specific payer guidelines, creating significant administrative overhead for care teams.

Automating High-Volume Palliative & Hospice PA Categories

Klivira's platform is engineered to address the most frequent prior authorization categories within palliative and hospice care. By automating data extraction and submission, we reduce manual touchpoints for critical services, accelerating approval times and minimizing potential care delays.

Streamlining Approvals for Essential Palliative & Hospice Services

  • Hospice levels of care (e.g., General Inpatient, Continuous Home Care, Respite Care)
  • Initial hospice election and recertifications
  • Palliative medications and therapies
  • Durable Medical Equipment (DME) specific to end-of-life support
  • Ancillary services required for comprehensive palliative care

EMR Integration for Seamless Palliative & Hospice Workflows

Klivira integrates with leading EMR systems via SMART on FHIR, enabling direct data exchange and reducing the need for manual chart abstraction. This ensures that clinical information required for X12 278 or ePA submissions is accurately and efficiently transmitted, enhancing compliance and operational efficiency for your palliative and hospice programs.

Enhancing Patient Access and Team Efficiency

By automating the prior authorization process for palliative and hospice services, Klivira helps organizations improve patient access to timely care while optimizing staff resources. Reduced administrative burden allows PA coordinators to focus on complex cases and patient advocacy, rather than repetitive data entry.
