"Insurance Verification LifeSaver "
What do you like best about Essentials?

I love availity! Having a software where I can verify and bundle similar insurances together really helps at our office for appointments. I absolutely love that it saves into the next day so if I need to double check I can quickly scroll down find and select. Availity is good for those who do billing and also appeal claims you are able to connect all insurance networks and get real time updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essentials?

I dont like when it takes awhile to load due to communication issues with the insurance companies or that some insurances can be verified but you are unable to copayment without calling the company directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hospital admin - Auth specialist"
What do you like best about Essentials?

Having access to pre-certifying many Bcbs out-of-state procedures without having to call and endure much often, pretty long wait lines Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essentials?

Runs slowly at times, will sometimes re-hook you to the first page when when calling and stating my position, only to be. Another thing, the biggest thing, completely lacking respect of all cleaning and self dignity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
