Athena Health Provides Web-based Pre-Admissions
UVMC, in partnership with Athena Health, features a convenient, web-based solution for pre-admissions - Athena Coordinator. This powerful new system helps you:
- Improve practice efficiency
- Increase ease of scheduling tests and treatments
- Improve continuity of care and patient satisfaction
Athena facilitates the collection of patient information, scheduling of procedures, pre-admitting of both inpatients and outpatients and transmission of patient data to appropriate areas.
To access AthenaCoordinator 
you will need a username and password to log in, or you can call (205) 970-3344 or toll free at (800) 981-5084.
What are the benefits?
AthenaCoordinator obtains pre-certification and verifies insurance coverage for both the physician and hospital, regardless of the payor.
- FREE to the physician's offices
- Web-based program
- Produces an electronic order
- Performs a “medical necessity” check for Medicare patients
- Can route requests to scheduling
- Pre-registers patients, which improves the patient's check-in process and satisfaction
- Reduces pre-certification, insurance and demographic errors
- Reduces insurance denials
- Same and Next Day Pre-certification
UVMC and Athena Health are happy to present you with the option to allow Athena to assist you in your same and next day pre-certification needs:
- You will use the same username and password that you currently use
- Since it is a same or next day request you will need to schedule the patient yourself and choose the “Same/Next Day” option in the Scheduling box
- Choose the “Other” option in the “PreCertify” box to allow it to be entered for a same/next day procedure
- Be sure to send all clinical to Proxsys immediately to insure the pre-certification process begins in a timely manner
- If there are any questions, you can contact one of your local team leaders.
