"Availity is essential for medical practices"
5/5
What do you like best about Essentials?

Availity is straightforward with the tools available to manage claims. It offers an organized homepage that has all the applications one click away. It allows me to check the status of a claim, gives overviews of authorizations and referrals, and most importantly, allows me to verify patient eligibility. The eligibility and benefits inquiry tool is the most effective benefit for me since it will enable me to manage the accuracy of eligibility information thoroughly.

What do you dislike about Essentials?

The major dislike I have for Availity is that they are not resourceful for denied claims or any denials. In addition, their customer service does not offer premier service to their users in times of conflict with the software. Availity could improve their customer support tools for users and create a tool for managing denials to increase their customer base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Availity is super useful... in some cases"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Essentials?

Love just how quickly it works and how simple it is to use with the insurance carriers it supports. It is MUCH easier than dealing with insurance companies directly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essentials?

It only supports certain carriers and not others, which you don't find out until you need to verify a patient's insurance. I hope they're working to expand to support more carriers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can obtain EOB's for insurance companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essentials?

I do not like this system at all. It is very hard to navigate through Availity. I often wonder if large insurance companies speak to the users of this system? As it is NOT user-friendly! The benefit verification system is so vague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"valuable information"
4/5
What do you like best about Essentials?

This software provides valuable information and makes insurance validation and billing easy. It's simple to send for authorization and referrals on mostly one platform. Almost all of the large companies are available and the information is presented in a way that's clear and easy to understand. This is one of the best platforms I've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essentials?

Not all payors participate and the information isn't always accurate or up-to-date. However, that's to be expected in the ever changing world of healthcare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplifying Insurance Verification"
5/5
What do you like best about Essentials?

What I like best about Availity is that it's really self explanatory and not much information is needed to verify eligibility for a patient. I have used provider's very own websites but this one is honestly just so much easier in every aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essentials?

I would say I'm not a huge fan of their layout. It could be more modern and updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
