As we have been communicating in Provider News, we are now in the final stages of migration from the legacy medical attachments submission tool to the ‘Attachments-New’ option via Availity.

 

What is happening to the current attachment tool?

  • The legacy medical attachments tool will be retired soon* with access via the Attachments-New option available now.
  • The history of the information you have previously submitted is still available on the legacy tool at this time.*
  • Read only access to the history is in the final stages.*

 

*Look for messaging on the legacy attachment tool for specific dates.

Availity Administrators must complete these steps:

  • From My Account Dashboard, select Enrollments Center > Medical Attachments Setup and complete the following sections:

  • Provider Management > Select Organization from the drop-down. Add NPIs and/or tax IDs.
  • Assign user access by checking the box in front of the user’s name.
