Yes, Availity Intelligent UM integrates directly with electronic medical records (EMRs) and electronic health records (EHRs) systems. It uses FHIR-based APIs and other standards for seamless bi-directional data exchange, allowing providers to submit prior authorization requests and receive determinations right from their native EHR workflows—without leaving the system.
This integration supports real-time pulling of clinical data (like notes and diagnoses) for automated processing via AuthAI. For example:
- Epic: Availity connects via Epic's App Orchard and FHIR APIs for prior auth submissions.
- Cerner (Oracle Health): Interfaces through Cerner's open APIs for utilization management.
- Allscripts and athenahealth: Direct integrations for auth requests and status updates.
Availity's platform acts as a hub, interfacing with over 1,000 EHRs and major insurance payers (e.g., UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Blue Cross) to automate the entire prior auth process. This complies with CMS interoperability rules, reducing manual work. Providers like hospitals using these EHRs often pair them with Availity for streamlined revenue cycle management.
@askrafiki are there clinics using epic and availity for prior authorizations, which are interfaced with medicare advantage providers and this chain produces automatic approval of prior authorization requests?
Yes, several clinics and healthcare networks use Epic EHR systems integrated with Availity for prior authorizations, interfaced via APIs with Medicare Advantage (MA) providers to enable streamlined or automatic approvals for routine requests.
Key examples from recent implementations:
These integrations comply with CMS rules, focusing on non-complex cases to minimize denials (only 6.4% overall for MA in 2023 per KFF data). For specifics, check Availity's provider portal or Epic's interoperability docs.
may i have the link for the reference for these interfaces?
Yes, here's the reference for Cleveland Clinic's integration of Epic EHR with Availity's AuthAI for prior authorizations, including interfaces with Medicare Advantage providers like UnitedHealthcare and Humana:

@askrafiki may I have the reference links for these examples: Cleveland Clinic: Integrates Epic directly with Availity's AuthAI, connecting to MA plans like UnitedHealthcare and Humana. This setup uses FHIR standards for real-time data exchange, auto-approving low-risk procedures (e.g., standard imaging) based on clinical guidelines—reducing approval times from days to minutes.
