Submitting prior authorizations is getting easier
You may already be familiar with the Availity multi-payer Authorization app because thousands of providers are already using it for submitting prior authorizations for other payers. Anthem is eager to make it available to our providers, too. In 2022, you can begin using the same authorization app you use for other payers. We hope to make it easier to submit prior authorization requests to Anthem.
ICR is still available
If you need to refer to an authorization that was submitted through ICR, you will still have access to that information. We’ve developed a pathway to access your ICR dashboard. You will simply follow the prompts provided through the Availity Authorization app.
Innovation in progress
While we grow the Availity Authorization app to provide you with Anthem-specific information, you can still access ICR for:
- Appeals
- Behavioral health authorizations
- FEP authorizations
- Medical specialty Rx
Notices in the Availity Authorization App will guide you through the process for accessing ICR for Alternate Authorization/Appeals functions.
Training is available
If you aren’t already familiar with the Availity Authorization app, training is available.
