Last Updated: January 28, 2022 An easy step-by-step tutorial on how to login into the availity provider portal. This is written for the non-technical person trying to solve problems with no computer skills. I will teach you two ways of Availity Login so that you can learn more about your data. The first way will give you a simple view from an internet browser, and the second method will give you a more detailed view using Excel or another spreadsheet program.

What is Availity?
Yes, this post is long but I have tried to make it as short as possible without losing any information. If you just want access to your information, then jump down! If however, like me, you would like to know what all there is then read on and take your time.
I am writing this for the US, but it will also work for Canada. This is for a provider that has an active Digital ID. If you don’t have one and want to know how to get one see my post here. I use excel 2007 and 2003 formats in the article, but both versions are pretty much the same except for minor changes. If you have any questions please leave them at the end of this post (see below) or leave me a message on twitter or email: askapex17@gmail.com Let’s start! We need either internet explorer version 9 or higher OR Mozilla Firefox v10 or higher with Flash Player 11 installed (you can download it from HERE). Casenet Mo

Entering your information into the availity provider portal is not really difficult. If you have already done it before, skip this paragraph and go to the next procedure. DadeSchools Login
If you haven’t logged in yet, log in. You can either login from here or click on “portal” on the top right hand corner of your home page (you can also access it by going directly to portal.availityprovider.com ) Once there you will see a screen like this: K12 Login

You will see a screen like this:
Choose EDIT DATA- (the other options are for adding and removing providers, deleting data, etc. You can do all of that later) Once there you will see a screen like as below:
This is where we begin. Click on CHANGE Availity login INFO- Now choose the first option (to use your Digital ID), enter your Provider ID and click CONTINUE If you have not done so already, call availity at 1-800-285-1276 to request a Digital ID number. Make sure to ask very specifically for a DIGITAL ID! Non digital ones work too but they are read-only so I will not be writing about them in this post.
Up to this point, you have used your Digital ID. Now click on SECONDARY OPTION – You will see a screen like as below:

About Availity Provider Portal
You can use either your primary email or a secondary one. Since I am using my primary, I just leave it blank when going through the form. If you are using your secondary email enter it in the field provided as well as all of the other information requested (your name, password, etc). If you already know what you want to show up from before then enter that now too. Otherwise, let’s just finish setting everything up first and we will come back to this later. In the next window, you are shown what is going to be your new password for logging in from now on. Reenter your password to confirm that you want it and click CONTINUE (as shown below)
You can choose whatever email address system you want as long as it is something that availity Login can send information to, so that they know how to reach you in case of a problem or anything else. Once you have read everything check the box and click FINISHED.
availity/login
A screen similar to the one above will appear with some more instructions about how to log into your portal again. Click DONE- Make sure that you click login! If not then close out of this page and follow the steps all over again until you get it right (remember to click the big blue button in the last step so you can log into your portal). Be sure that you are on this page at THIS LINK . You will notice a couple of things. First off, the login form has changed as well as some other options under “My Profile.” Second, there is a new tab at the top called “Data Management”. Click on DATA MANAGEMENT-
You have successfully set up your Digital ID and are ready to start entering in all of your data! This is what everything should look like now:
availity web portal Customer Services
Your main screen still looks the same and you should be able to see that when you hover over it or point to it with your cursor there is a small box that appears which tells you what type of account/portal it is. In this case, we are on a portal for an Availity provider and there is a Digital ID listed just under the title but if you log in to your non-Digital ID account (if you have one) then it will not show that.
Now click on DATA MANAGEMENT- This brings us back to our original screen which I described above. At the top right-hand corner notice that there is a new tab called DATABASES. Click on DATABASES-
So far this should look exactly like before except everything has changed from “Coming Soon” to being filled out with more information about any databases that might be associated with your practice or business.
