In order to setup your NikoHealth site to be able to transmit electronic transactions through Availity you will need to follow the steps below.
Step 1
I Have An Existing Customer Profile in Availity
Make sure your existing account is set to the Essentials Basic Plan ( Free)
If you are downgrading your plan to the Essentials Basic Plan please contact availity customer support and ask them to make that effective immediately. Please let Availity customer support know that your account needs to be connected through their Network Vendor BBMK Technologies Customer ID 1928348. We will be unable to associate your account until this is completed.
You will need to share your Customer ID and Tax ID with a NikoHealth Representative
I Do Not Have An Existing Customer Profile in Availity
Please go to www.availity.com
Click on Get Started and create your customer profile
Please make sure to select the Essentials Base Plan (Free)
Once you have created a profile you will need to share your Customer ID and Tax ID
with a NikoHealth representative
Step 2
Once you have provided NikoHealth with your Customer ID and Tax ID, NikoHealth will add your organization to our Vendor account.
You will receive an automated email from Availity where you will need to approve BBMK Technologies as your vendor. This will be sent to the admin email in your Availity portal.
Upon your approval, Availity will send two additional emails:
FTP Account Email
FTP Password Email
You will need to share the information in these emails with a NikoHealth representative.
