The Availity Eligibility and Benefits (E&B) tool has been redesigned based on your provider feedback to make it easier to locate the needed patient information in one consolidated view. The refreshed Eligibility and Benefits entry and response screens offer you a clearer and more concise workflow, as well as flexible options for adding providers, expandable sections, and other toggle/filtering options.

Checking eligibility and/or benefit information is not a guarantee of payment. Benefits will be determined once a claim is received and will be based upon, among other things, the member’s eligibility, any claims received during the interim period and the terms of the member’s certificate of coverage applicable on the date services were rendered.
