CareCost EstimatorSM
Estimate patient financial responsibility in real-time
CareCost Estimator helps you determine patient financial responsibility in real-time at no charge. Based on the primary diagnosis and procedures, the patient’s benefits, and provider contractual allowances, the amount the patient owes you is calculated instantly. Instead of waiting for your claims to be processed, you can accept payment at the time of service and improve your accounts receivable.

What people are saying
"We have realized time, cost, and workflow savings by using Availity. It has saved a lot of time from being on the phone and has made it easier for the patient as well, since a lot of time they are unsure of their own benefits. We check eligibility and benefits before patients arrive so we know exactly what the patient owes, which saves us time and money. We love it!"
