Streamline Workflow with Medical Attachments Tool

Beginning January 1, 2024, Empire became Anthem. This article, published under the former brand, now applies to Anthem.

Has your office received a request for additional information to process a claim for a commercial Empire member? Those records can be submitted electronically using the Medical Attachments feature in your Availity claims processing portal.

 

The Medical Attachments feature makes submitting electronic documentation in support of a claim simple and streamlined. You can use your tax identification number (TIN) or your NPI to register and submit solicited (requested by Empire) medical record attachments through the Availity Portal.
