Optimize Revenue Cycle with Automated Batch Eligibility (270/271)
Klivira automates **batch eligibility (270/271)** verification for your scheduled patient cohorts, ensuring accurate coverage data before service delivery. This proactive approach minimizes claim denials and accelerates revenue capture.
Manual eligibility checks are a significant drain on administrative resources and a leading cause of claim rejections. For revenue cycle directors and prior authorization coordinators, ensuring accurate and timely patient eligibility is critical for financial health and operational efficiency. Klivira addresses this challenge by transforming your pre-service eligibility workflow.
The Challenge of Manual Eligibility Verification
Traditional eligibility checks are often performed manually or in real-time at patient check-in, leading to delays, errors, and an increased risk of claim denials. This reactive process impacts patient experience and places undue burden on front-office staff, diverting resources from direct patient care.
Klivira's Automated Batch Eligibility Solution
Klivira integrates directly with your EMR to perform **batch nightly eligibility** checks for all scheduled patients. Leveraging the X12 270/271 transaction sets, our platform automatically queries payers, retrieving comprehensive benefit information well in advance of the service date.

What happens if an eligibility check reveals a problem?
If an eligibility check reveals a discrepancy or non-coverage, the patient will be flagged in an exception report. Your team can then proactively contact the patient, verify alternative coverage, or discuss financial options before the scheduled service, preventing last-minute surprises.

Yes, all data exchanged for batch eligibility processing adheres to strict HIPAA security standards. Klivira employs robust encryption, access controls, and auditing mechanisms to protect PHI throughout the entire eligibility verification workflow.
Can we customize the timing of the batch eligibility runs?
Klivira offers flexible scheduling options for batch eligibility runs. Most organizations opt for nightly processing to ensure all scheduled patients for the following day have verified coverage, but timing can be adjusted to align with your specific operational needs.
How does this impact our prior authorization workflow?
Accurate batch eligibility information is a foundational component of an efficient prior authorization workflow. By confirming coverage upfront, you can ensure that prior authorization requests are submitted with correct payer details, reducing the likelihood of denials due to eligibility issues.
