Does your office or organization ever ask … “Is this patient eligible for Blue Cross and Blue Shield Oklahoma (BCBSOK) benefits?”; ” Does this service require preauthorization?”; or ”How did my claim process?” If so, these questions and so many more can be answered with a few key strokes, in a matter of seconds using an online portal application, such as AvailityTM.

Electronic options deliver real-time resolutions, avoiding disapproved services and optimizing your payment. You can confirm patient coverage, preauthorize services and post payments with a few simple clicks.

Not only can you conduct HIPAA compliant transactions online, using Availity, providers can also;

  • Submit pre and post exam transactions
  • Conduct pre-service request
  • Complete post-service reconciliation
  • Update provider demographics
  • Enroll for electronic remittance and fund transfer
