Anthem Blue Cross to move eligibility, benefits and claim status inquiry functions to Availity Web Portal in March



Anthem Blue Cross has advised that effective March 14, 2014, patient eligibility, benefits and claim status inquiry functions will transition from its ProviderAccess portal to the Availity web portal. As of that date, practices will only be able to access this information via the Availity web portal.
 
While BlueCard eligibility, benefits and claim status functions will also transition to Availity, the BlueCard Advisor function that allows practices to determine which Blues plan to send the claim to will continue to be available on the ProviderAccess portal.
 
In order to access information on the Availity web portal, practices must first register and sign the Availity Organizational Access Agreement.
 
To register for the Availity web portal, visit www.availity.com/providers/registration-details.
 
Anthem Blue Cross is also offering free 30-minute webinars on the ProviderAccess functionality shutdown and Availity registration process. The webinars will take place on the following Wednesdays, 10 to 10:30 a.m.
