Digital transactions cut administrative tasks in half

Introducing the Anthem Provider Digital Engagement Supplement to the provider manual

Using our secure provider portal or EDI submissions (via Availity), administrative tasks can be reduced by more than fifty percent when filing claims with or without attachments, checking statuses, verifying eligibility, benefits and when submitting prior authorizations electronically. In addition, it could not be easier. Through self-service functions, you can accomplish digital transactions all at one time, all in one place. If you are not already registered, just click here for EDI or here for the secure provider portal (Availity).

Get payments faster

By eliminating paper checks, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is a digital payment solution that deposits payments directly into your account. It is safe, secure and you can receive payments faster. Electronic remittance advice (ERA) is completely searchable and downloadable from the secure provider portal or the EDI 835 remittance, which meets all HIPAA mandates - eliminating the need for paper remittances.

Member IDs go digital

Anthem members are transitioning to digital member identification cards making it easier for them and you. The ID card is easily emailed directly to you for file upload, eliminating the need to scan or print. In addition, the new digital member ID card can be directly accessed through the secure provider portal via Availity. Providers should begin accepting the digital member ID cards when presented by the member. For more information on accessing this tool, see our October Provider News article:  Electronic member ID cards available on the Availity Portal.

Anthem makes going digital easy with the Provider Digital Engagement Supplement

From our digital member identification cards to EDI transactions, application programming interface (API) to Direct Data Entry, we cover it all in our Provider Digital Engagement Supplement to the provider manual available here and on our secure provider portal through Availity. The Supplement outlines Anthem provider expectations, processes and self-service tools across all electronic channels, including medical, dental, and vision benefits.

The Provider Digital Engagement Supplement to the provider manual is another example of how Anthem is using digital technology to improve the health care experience. We are asking providers to go digital with Anthem no later than January 1, 2021, so we can realize our mutual goals of reducing administrative burden and increasing provider satisfaction and collaboration. Read the Digital Engagement Supplement now and go digital with Anthem.
