Frequently asked questions

How does Klivira handle different appeal levels for Montana payers?

Klivira's payer-policy library encodes per-payer appeal-pathway specifications, including first-level versus second-level thresholds and required documentation differences. This ensures the correct appeal level is invoked based on the denial reason and specific payer rules, optimizing the appeal process for Montana providers.

Can Klivira integrate with our existing EMR to pull clinical notes for appeals?

Yes, Klivira leverages FHIR-based capabilities to pull additional clinical documentation from your EMR, such as notes added since original submission, new imaging, or lab results. This ensures comprehensive appeal packets are assembled efficiently, reducing manual effort and potential documentation gaps.

How does automation ensure timely filing for appeals in Montana?

Klivira provides automated status tracking with timely-filing window enforcement and escalation rules. This system proactively monitors deadlines, alerting staff to critical dates and preventing lost-to-follow-up appeals due to missed submission windows, which is crucial for maintaining revenue integrity.

What types of denials can Klivira's automation address?

Klivira's denial-router uses normalized CARC/RARC taxonomy to classify denials and support automated appeal letter generation for various reasons, including medical necessity, coding errors, and documentation deficiencies. It streamlines the process for common appealable denials, enhancing consistency and efficiency.

Does Klivira address peer-to-peer reviews?

While Klivira automates many aspects of the appeal process, including generating clinician-reviewable letters for clinical-necessity appeals, novel clinical-judgment denials requiring human reasoning or direct peer-to-peer clinician availability remain outside the scope of current automation capabilities. Klivira focuses on streamlining the preparatory and submission phases.
