Availity to serve as EDI entry point for electronic submissions

We have designated Availity to operate and serve as your electronic data interchange (EDI) entry point or also called the EDI Gateway. The EDI Gateway is a no-cost option to our direct trading partners. With this change, we continue our efforts to ensure consistency between your provider portal and the EDI Gateway.

 

As a mandatory requirement, all trading partners who currently submit directly to the Anthem EDI Gateway must transition to the Availity EDI Gateway.  Availity is well known as a Web portal and claims clearinghouse.  In addition, Availity functions as an EDI Gateway for multiple payers and is the single EDI connection for our company.

 

Your organization can submit and receive the following electronic transactions through Availity’s EDI Gateway:

 

• 837 - Institutional Claims
• 837 - Professional Claims
• 837 - Dental Claims
• 835 - Electronic Remittance Advice
• 276/277 - Claim Status
• 270/271 - Eligibility Request

 

If you wish to become a direct trading partner with Availity, the setup is easy.  Use the Availity Welcome Application to begin the process of connecting to the Availity EDI Gateway for your Anthem EDI transmissions. 

 

If you prefer to use your clearinghouse or billing company, please work with them to ensure connectivity.
