Managing authorizations for Molina Healthcare just got a whole lot easier with Availity Essentials. 

Using multiple systems to manage authorizations can be time-consuming. Availity and Molina Healthcare have introduced shortcuts to make your job simpler. Begin streamlining your authorization workflow today with new tools available now on Availity Essentials.

Take Advantage of Three New Tools*

  1. Authorization Request: Request an Inpatient or Outpatient Authorization using an easy 5 step guided form. Verify if an authorization is required by using the built-in Prior Authorization Lookup Tool. Create templates for your common request types to automatically populate information in your request.
  2. Authorization Inquiry: View results of authorization requests submitted outside of Essentials or inquire about the status of an authorization request submitted by another organization.
  3. Authorization Dashboard: Check the status of all your authorization requests and inquiries from one central location. View results based on your preferences with robust filtering and sorting options. Rest assured any incomplete authorization requests are automatically saved in the drafts tab to resume and submit later.
