Summary

Due to a Change Healthcare cybersecurity outage affecting electronic claims submission, providers must switch to Availity clearinghouse. Availity is offering live training webinars March 11-19 to help providers learn claims submission and EDI processes on their platform.

Action Required

Action needed
Immediately: Billing team must enroll with Availity Essentials to replace Change Healthcare for electronic claims submission. Register for live training webinars (March 11-19) via Availity Essentials Provider Portal. Complete step-by-step enrollment instructions on Availity Lifeline website. Set up EDI processes and FTP mailbox for electronic claims processing. Failure to switch clearinghouses will prevent electronic claims submission with no timeline for Change Healthcare resolution.
