New to Availity? Get Started

Dean Health Plan, Prevea360 Health Plan, and Medica (formerly WellFirst Health) are moving to Availity Essentials

For 2024–2025 dates of service, Availity Essentials will be the EDI gateway and secure provider portal for Dean Health Plan, Prevea360 Health Plan, and Medica (formerly WellFirst Health) for select plan transactions. More health plans will transition to Availity Essentials this year, so watch for future updates by email and in-portal communications.

Availity EDI and Essentials portal can be used with all members who have payer ID 41822 on their member card. You must continue current EDI transactions under payer ID 39113 and retain your accounts in the Dean Health Plan, Prevea360 Health Plan, or Medica (formerly WellFirst Health) provider portal for all other plans.

In Essentials, providers will need to use payer ID 41822 for the following transactions:

  • Eligibility & Benefits
  • Enhanced Claim Status
  • Claims Appeals Submission and Status
  • Medical Prior Authorizations Submission and Status (all member plans)
