About Availity
We're reaching our goal of making health care about patients, not paperwork.
In 2001, a team of forward-thinking professionals at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, Inc. and Humana Inc. sought to empower and connect all Florida health care professionals with a smarter, online approach to electronic claims and other daily health plan transactions.
Availity combines dynamic technological innovation with an in-depth understanding of the health care industry. Our unique business model is based on the mutual benefits of collaboration and expansion of our network—not fee-based profits. We strongly believe that collaboration is the only way to reduce the rising administrative costs for all participants in the health care system.
And we’ve shown that our unique business model works. In less than 10 years, we‘ve become one of the largest EDI clearinghouses in the nation—processing more than 700 million transactions annually—and the most advanced electronic Health Information Network. We’ve saved millions for providers and health plans, and helped grow the businesses of our technology partners. Most importantly, we’re reaching our goal of making health care about patients, not paperwork.
“Availity is one of the best kept secrets in health care. But it shouldn't stay that way. Much of health care remains in the dark ages technologically, and the success that Availity has had in Florida alone, where virtually every doctor and hospital is connected, should be a model for others to follow.”
