Ambetter's Secure Provider Portal Is Changing to Availity Essentials
Date: 09/19/24
Ambetter has chosen a new platform for the Secure Provider Portal. Starting November 18, 2024, you can validate eligibility and benefits, submit claims, check claim status, submit authorizations, and access Ambetter payer resources through Availity Essentials.
If you are already working in Essentials, you can log in to your existing Essentials account to enjoy these benefits beginning November 18, 2024:
- Use Availity Essentials to verify member eligibility and benefits, submit claims, check claim status, submit authorizations, and more.
- Look for additional functionality in Ambetter’s payer space on Essentials and use the heart icon to add apps to My Favorites in the top navigation bar. Our current Secure Provider Portal will still be available for other functions you may use now.
- Access Manage My Organization — save provider information in Essentials and auto-populate it to save time and prevent errors.
If you are new to Availity Essentials, getting your Essentials account is the first step toward working with Ambetter on Availity.
Getting Started: Designate an Availity Administrator for Your Provider Organization
Your provider organization’s designated Availity administrator is the person responsible for registering your organization in Essentials and managing user accounts. This person should have legal authority to sign agreements for your organization.
