Availity offers live online sessions, webinars, tutorials, and training videos, which help teams get started.

### How well does Availity handle insurance management?

Availity centralizes insurance eligibility, benefits, claims, and prior authorizations in one portal for many provider offices.

Answer based on 84 reviews

Features and Usability

### How good is Availity for claim management?

Availity supports claim submission, claim status checks, remittance viewing, and ERA lookups in one place for many practices.

My overall experience was great. Customer support, security, and claim management were all what was expected.

Pros

It did a great job with patient eligibility and claim management. It was very user friendly with navigating between different payer spaces. I also felt it was very secure

Cons

It's EOB and remittance viewer was always more difficult than it needed to be. I felt that finding certain payments took longer than it should have

Pros

I’d like to share some concerns about my experience with the call center. Unfortunately, the representatives have not been very helpful. Out of multiple attempts, I’ve only been successful twice in obtaining a prior authorization for one of our patients. There has been little to no guidance provided on how to resolve issues, which makes the process more challenging. Additionally, the wait times are extremely long I have personally waited over three hours just to receive a response on a request.

Very bad and bitter. The worse company that I have ever dealt with. I wouldn't wish my experience on my worse enemy.

Pros

Nothing good about this company. The website is extreemly difficult to understand and manuver. No customer service support

Cons

Their website and the attitude of most of the workers. It looks like they do not understand the system themselve

Overall my experience with Availity has been great. I have been using it since I first started practicing 7 years and continue to use it to this day.

Pros

Availity is great value for money since it is free to providers. It is a great site that provides real time insurance eligibility and benefits information for most insurance carriers. You can submit and keep track of health claims. You can also keep track of all the claims data on availity.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve with using Availity. They do provide lots of informational videos and one on one training however.

My experience has been good overall. Easy to use for the most part. Has a lot of the carriers we work with.

Pros

It is easy to use and it makes sense when trying to figure it out. It is nice to go to one place for our insurance info.

Cons

Unfortunately, it is not a one stop shop for us. We have to go to another place to get some of our claims info.

Pros

Availity is my one stop location for 75% of the insurance companies I work with. It has the ability to search for claims, add practitioners to my existing networks, etc. It is great to have all of that in one place.

Cons

Availity's interface and functionality requires a major learning curve. It is a difficult site to navigate. After using it for almost a year, I am learning more ways to navigate faster, however, I still find myself spending upwards of 5-10 minutes searching for specific things on the site and googling, using ChatGPT, etc. to figure it out. It adds more time to an already time consuming workload.

My overall experience has been a learning curve as far as what insurances I can submit for prior authorization on availity for.

Pros

My favorite thing about availity is how easy it is to run insurance eligibility and submit for prior authorization.

Cons

My least favorite thing about availity is how much the premium account costs. I feel like it should cost just maybe not as much.

I have been using Availity for over 5 years only need several states for my account. So, my account is $0.00 - free.

Pros

Availity is very easy to use for several insurance companies; eligibility and patient records for benefits verified. Claims are easy to input and submit.

Cons

I do not like that you can not get denied EOB for some insurances; you only get a type of reject that you need to search for.
