2. Click Register, and follow the steps to complete your registration

After you complete your registration, Availity will send you emails that include your next steps and temporary password. You may then begin adding other users for your organization.

The Add User help topic on the Availity portal explains how your Availity administrators can add users, either one at a time, or with a spreadsheet.

Who do I contact if I need help registering for Availity?
For registration assistance, call Availity Client Services at 1-800-AVAILITY (282-4548).
Assistance is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Eastern time (excluding holidays).

To make the transition easy, your dental plan/payer and Availity have teamed up to offer a variety of training and informational sessions via the Availity Learning Center (ALC). After you register with Availity, log in to the Availity provider portal, click Help & Training | Get Trained and search by keyword “dental” to access recorded demonstrations.

Q: Why did I receive a request to register for the Availity Portal?
A: Your dental plan/payer is retiring their existing dental portal, so they’re contacting you to ensure you register for Availity. If you received that request, we recommend that you begin using Availity for all your dental transactions. By using the multi-payer Availity Portal, you can access information and transactions from your dental plan/payer and other payers on one website.

Q: What new tools and features will be available on Availity?
A: The same options you had before will remain. You’ll still be able to look up basic eligibility, summary of benefits, and finalized claim status among other items, but you'll no longer need to go to two different portals to view member eligibility, benefits and claims. Here’s what we’re bringing to you through Availity:

• Eligibility and benefits (single and multiple inquiry) with expanded benefit information
• Claim submission (new, online corrected and pre-treatment claims)
• Claims status (single and multiple inquiry) with expanded claims details, supporting of suspended claims and pre-determination status
• Attachments (solicited and unsolicited) for new, corrected and pre-determination claim submissions
• Remittance Viewer (paper images only) supporting pre-determination, denials, and paid claims
• Online Provider Maintenance Form to submit directory changes online
• Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) registration
• Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) registration
