New! Availity Essentials Quick Training Videos

We recently added two more short videos to help you navigate Availity. Our new video series offers you quick and easy trainings that are just two minutes or less to watch. The videos feature useful screenshots so you can see exactly what to do within Availity tools as well as resources and useful tips.

Video topics are based on valuable provider feedback – the first two were about signing up for electronic funds transfer (EFT) and learning how to update your provider information. Here are the next two we just posted in our Learning Center:

Checking eligibility and benefits for BlueCard and Shared Administration

To check eligibility and benefits for a BlueCard or Shared Administration member, you need to select the specific payer called “Other Blue Plans Premera BlueExchange Shared Admin.” See descriptive screenshots and learn more about Shared Administration plans. Watch the quick training video.

Adding Washington state as a new region in Availity

If you’re an out-of-state provider or a provider practicing in a county bordering Premera’s service locations within Washington state, you can add Washington to your Availity registration. After you’ve added Washington as a state, you can select Premera as a payer to get the most complete benefits and eligibility information. Watch the quick training video.
