Automate claim status, denial management, and payment posting on top of athenahealth with Sarva's AI RCM agents
Sarva connects to athenahealth to automate the revenue cycle work athenaCollector still leaves to your staff: real-time claim status checks across your full payer mix, denial root-cause classification, and payment posting from the 835s athenahealth already receives, without replacing your existing athenahealth workflows.
Why athenahealth + Sarva
Sarva connects to athenahealth to automate the revenue cycle work athenaCollector still leaves to your staff: real-time claim status checks across your full payer mix, denial root-cause classification, and payment posting from the 835s athenahealth already receives, without replacing your existing athenahealth workflows. athenahealth's network handles a lot of the front end of the claim lifecycle well. What it doesn't do is chase a claim once it's out the door, or tell a biller why a denial happened instead of just that it happened. Practices running athenahealth still staff people to log into payer portals for status checks, sort denials by hand, and reconcile ERAs line by line. Sarva's agents pick up exactly that work.
What Sarva Automates in athenahealth
Claim Status Automation
Sarva checks claim status across your payer mix on a schedule instead of waiting for a biller to look, and flags anything stuck past your practice's normal turnaround so follow-up starts before a claim ages into a write-off risk.
Denial Management
When athenahealth shows a claim denied, Sarva classifies the denial by root cause (eligibility, coding, authorization, timely filing) instead of leaving that read to whoever picks up the worklist next, and routes it to the right fix.
ERA / Payment Posting
Sarva reads the 835s flowing into athenahealth and posts payments automatically, flagging underpayments against your contracted rates instead of letting them post silently.
Eligibility Verification
Sarva re-verifies eligibility ahead of scheduled visits, catching coverage changes and secondary-payer gaps before a claim goes out on stale eligibility data.
