Availity is now our designated EDI Gateway

BCBSGa has recently moved into a strategic partnership with Availity to serve as our designated EDI Gateway and E-solutions Service Desk.

• Availity and BCBSGa are working together to develop new ways to simplify how you manage claims and other administrative tasks online.
• Beginning June 1st 2018 you will be able to manage all changes and new setup requests for the electronic remittance advice (835) through the Availity Portal.
• To register or manage account changes for electronic funds transfers (EFT) only, please continue to use the EnrollHub at https://solutions.caqh.org
• If you directly submit your electronic transactions to Anthem (Brand) and have your own practice management software, Availity provides trading partner services and access to Portal tools through an easy setup experience.      
• If you use a clearinghouse, they will work with Availity on your behalf.
