Availity Essentials is the place to connect with your payers—at no cost to providers. Availity works with hundreds of payers nationwide to give providers a one-stop-portal where they can check eligibility, submit claims, collect patient payments and track ERAs, and even sign up for EFT. Your Essentials account gets you access to all this and more, with one password. You can also update your provider profiles, manage quality-of-care paperwork, and get detailed reporting about your office’s standard HIPAA and other payer transactions. - **5** discussions - · **80%** answered ![Availity](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/image/large_detail/large_detail_773fb50b84e8cad7e5b8148b0cf03334/availity.png "Availity") Availity Discussions Most CommentedMost HelpfulCommon QuestionsNewest Showing **5** discussions ![Pinned by G2 as a common question](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Pinned by G2 as a common question") G2 Pinned by G2 as a common question • about 3 years ago More Options - Share [![linkedin](/assets/social-logos/linkedin-afe65e46604a5bd5105ab9c856116204040b6b3f2b2d42562fc8071ca0c48ca0.svg "linkedin")](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&summary=What+is+Availity+used+for%3F&title=What+is+Availity+used+for%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fessentials-what-is-availity-used-for) [![twitter](/assets/social-logos/twitter-61aaec80434c71387b8f7326e480592eae71c0a65afd051d66fce9b75a9bf417.svg "twitter")](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=What+is+Availity+used+for%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fessentials-what-is-availity-used-for&via=G2dotcom) [![facebook](/assets/social-logos/facebook-350d0b410d6b10debcf893050e803a8633d53561aa42807b087b8daf9be3668f.svg "facebook")](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fessentials-what-is-availity-used-for) [![gmail](/assets/social-logos/gmail-6db42f21e7c254fae201b112bef0dd15d25223a5cbb32691ce80eab43761eadf.svg "gmail")](https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=&su=What+is+Availity+used+for%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fessentials-what-is-availity-used-for%0aWhat+is+Availity+used+for%3F) [![mail](/assets/social-logos/mail-d55c53b04bf49872e40cd2443b85a99caa23394e6cf154ae32a9d08377c15d86.svg "mail")](mailto:?subject=What+is+Availity+used+for%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fessentials-what-is-availity-used-for%0aWhat+is+Availity+used+for%3F) - Copy link - [ ## What is Availity used for? ](/discussions/essentials-what-is-availity-used-for) What is Availity used for?
