Availity launches enhanced provider enrollment features for improved efficiency

At a glance:

  • The Provider Enrollment and Network Management tool on Availity Essentials offers streamlined data submission and real‑time status tracking.
  • Administrators can manage access via Availity Essentials, enabling roles for provider enrollment and network management features.
  • Practice profile changes are facilitated electronically through the Provider Data Management application on Availity Essentials.

Coming soon, we will add additional provider specialties and network management functionality to our Provider Enrollment and Network Management application available in Payer Spaces after logging in to Availity Essentials at https://Availity.com.

Features of the Provider Enrollment and Network Management application include:

  • Ability to enroll as a new care provider.
  • Ability to request to join our network. After review, a contract can be sent back to you digitally for an electronic signature. This eliminates the need for paper applications or paper contracts.
  • A dashboard for the real‑time status of the submitted applications.
  • Streamlined complete data submission.
  • Additional options to manage your network.

How to use the online Provider Enrollment and Network Management application

The online application will guide you throughout the provider enrollment and network management process, providing status updates using My Dashboard within the Provider Enrollment and Network Management application. As a result, you know where you are in the process without having to call or email for a status.

Note: For any changes to your practice profile and demographics, use the Provider Data Management (PDM) application on Availity Essentials, which allows you to electronically submit any changes to your practice profile and demographics. Availity Essentials administrators and assistant administrators can access it by going to Availity Essentials > My Providers > Provider Data Management.
