Product Capabilities

An unattended automation is initiated from the EHR, determines whether an auth is required, and returns the response to the EHR. From there a user can initiate the submission workflow, if needed.

We leverage real-time automations instead of relying on a quickly outdated rule library, allowing us to keep up with the payer landscape and prior authorization changes. We can develop some client-specific rules per automation.

Leveraging Janus Health Teleport, Prior Authorization automates navigation to the authorizing payer or portal to the point where human intervention (clinical documentation upload and submission) is required.

An unattended automation checks the status of submitted authorizations and returns it to the EHR.

Valer can be configured to identify highly targeted information regarding authorization requirements and/or services which are "no auth required." Valer has the ability to work with select payers to provide authorization requirements, "no auth required" alerts, and authorization submissions via real-time APIs (application programming interfaces) where available.

Valer comprehensively automates completion and submission of prior authorizations for 1,000+ unique payer fax forms and 75+ payer web portals.

Valer's form library maintains and updates over 1,000+ payer authorization fax forms across all service lines (diagnostic imaging, surgeries, procedures, chemo/infusion, medications, notice of admissions, DMEs, sleep, Worker's Comp). Valer's proprietary technology can add any new fax form for users typically within 24 hours to support authorizations and referrals.

Valer provides the ability for users to easily attach any relevant clinical documentation to a prior authorization for submissions. Valer supports various file formats needed for submission. Valer also captures documentation from payers regarding approval tracking codes, expiration dates, units of service, CPTs approved, which can be pushed directly back into EHRs/practice management systems to avoid manual data entry. Valer also has Epic's x275 clinical document exchange functionality live in production to directly exchange information from Epic to Valer and back.

Valer comprehensively SUBMITS prior authorizations across both fax and web portal modalities across all-payers and all service types. Valer provides ONE interface, deeply integrated with EHR workflows to automate both today's manual authorization submission and verification workflows.

Valer provides automated authorization status verification across 75+ payer web portals. Authorization information (tracking numbers, units, expiration dates, sites of service, CPT/family of codes approved can be automatically pushed back into EHRs in an automated process further eliminating the need for manual data entry.
