Availity Extend (coming Nov 2026) helps healthcare organizations build on trusted healthcare infrastructure instead of rebuilding connectivity for every workflow, initiative, or innovation effort.
Healthcare is more connected than ever. But connectivity alone doesn’t complete the work.
Information moves between systems, organizations, and workflows. Teams are still left stitching together the context, decisions, and next steps needed to move work forward.
AI raises the stakes. If workflows remain fragmented, intelligence alone cannot create outcomes.
Instead of rebuilding connectivity for every workflow, application, or AI initiative, organizations can build on the trusted infrastructure healthcare already relies on.
Availity Extend delivers APIs for Coverage Management, Prior Authorization, Claims Lifecycle, Payments & Remittance, and Healthcare Interoperability. Teams can innovate faster while reducing integration complexity and improving revenue cycle efficiency.
Availity Extend is built to support automation and AI without changing the rules that healthcare already runs on. It operates entirely within existing contractual, security, and governance frameworks—so scale does not introduce new risk or ambiguity.
Turn fragmented healthcare processes into coordinated action across payers, providers, and partners.
Build once and expand across workflows, organizations, and the healthcare ecosystem.
Connect the data, context, and next-best actions that move work forward.
Enable agents and automation to participate securely in real healthcare workflows.
Healthcare innovation depends on trust. Availity Extend is built on the same trusted network relationships, governance experience, and workflow participation that healthcare organizations already rely on today.

Availity Extend is an enhanced developer experience and agent‑ready activation layer that helps healthcare technology companies build, automate, and coordinate workflows connected to the Availity network.
Availity APIs already support production healthcare workflows at national scale; Availity Extend improves how teams discover, combine, and activate those APIs to support multi‑step workflows rather than isolated integrations.
Yes. The APIs used by Availity Extend already operate in production across eligibility, authorizations, claims, and payments.
No. Direct API access remains available; Availity Extend adds activation, workflow context, and scale on top of existing APIs.
Availity Extend is built on live, production‑grade APIs and workflows already operating at scale; what’s evolving is the developer experience and activation layer, not the underlying infrastructure.
Agent‑ready activation refers to standardized patterns that allow customer‑managed AI agents and automation to coordinate interactions across workflows in governed, predictable ways inside live healthcare operations.
No. Availity Extend operates within existing contracts, security models, and access controls and does not introduce new data rights or permissions.
Healthcare innovators build and manage their own AI, agents, and automation; Availity provides the governed infrastructure those systems operate within.
Availity Extend is an activation layer that helps healthcare technologists turn trusted connectivity into coordinated action across payers, providers, and partners.
Availity network APIs remain available independently, while Availity Extend provides a more cohesive way to discover, coordinate, and scale them inside real workflows.
