Claims functions available in Availity Essentials

Magellan's claims tools to retire Oct. 1 — for faster, simpler claims, use claims functions on Availity Essentials

Availity Essentials is now the primary place to submit claims, check claim status and view remittance and explanation of payment (EOP)/explanation of benefit (EOB) data information — if you haven’t started using Availity yet, now’s the time.

Availity Essentials is the provider portal to submit Magellan claims, check claim status and view remittance and EOP/EOB information — if you haven’t started using the Availity portal yet, get started now.

Available today in Availity

  • Claim Submission & Encounters
  • Quick Claims 
  • Claim Status (new and fresh user interface)
  • Eligibility and Benefits Inquiry
  • Remittance and EOP/EOB access

What’s changing

Magellan’s Submit a Claim Online (Claims Courier) and Check Claims Status (Claims Inquiry) will retire from MagellanProvider.com after Oct. 1, 2026. 

Why 

Due to system changes, these Magellan applications will no longer be supported. Availity Essentials is the portal for Magellan providers to perform secure claim transactions, and all secure applications will soon be accessible only via Availity’s portal.

What’s not changing

You still can submit Magellan claims, check claim status and view remittance and EOP/EOB data quickly and easily with Availity Essentials.

Attention EAP providers

This change does not impact EAP reimbursement requests. Continue to use the EASI Form via the EAP Services portal. (From Availity Payer Spaces, choose Magellan Healthcare, then go to the EAP tile.)

What to do now

Claims functions are available via Availity Essentials Claims & Encounters, Quick Claims and Claim Status tools.

Availity Essentials is the provider portal to submit Magellan claims, check claim status and view remittance and EOP/EOB information — if you haven’t started using the Availity portal yet, get started now.
