Availity

Availity operates what it describes as America's largest real-time health information network, linking healthcare providers with health plans and technology partners. The company's purpose is to remove administrative friction in the healthcare system - delayed payments, denied claims and fragmented communication between parties - and it reports connections to more than two million providers across the United States.

At the centre of the business is the Availity intelligent platform, which supports the exchange of clinical, administrative and financial transactions at scale; the company says billions of such transactions are facilitated each year. Surrounding this core network are products aimed at specific parts of the administrative workflow: revenue cycle solutions designed to reduce claim denials and speed up payments, real-time patient eligibility verification, and tools for prior authorisation between providers and payers.

The technical work spans health information exchange, real-time data networks, healthcare interoperability and the automation of claims and other administrative transactions. The customer base covers providers, health insurers and payers, provider organisations, revenue cycle management firms and healthcare technology partners.

Availity characterises its culture as mission-driven, oriented around measurable outcomes such as faster payments and reduced administrative burden, with an emphasis on transparency, efficiency and connectedness in healthcare.
