The seamless integration of Availity Authorizations and Availity Patient Access into AbbaDox RIS enables imaging providers to improve pre-visit registration, point-of-service collections, reduce denied claims and create more efficient and seamless workflows.
Powered by an engine of more than 300,000 rules and Availity’s extensive network of payers, Availity Authorizations is a secure cloud platform that enables automated, real-time submissions. This functionality not only eliminates manual authorization tasks, but also helps providers streamline scheduling and avoid costly denials by ensuring that services are rendered only when an authorization has been approved.
