Check eligibility and benefits

To check eligibility and benefits – including accumulated amounts – for Magellan members online, you must use Availity’s portal, Availity Essentials. Log in now.

For some state-sponsored or government-funded programs, eligibility and benefits may not appear in Availity Essentials; to verify eligibility and benefits, go to the state’s website.

 

Get claims remittance, EOP/EOB data

You can access claims remittance and explanation of payment (EOP)/explanation of benefit (EOB) data on Availity Essentials. Log in now.

View a crosswalk (PDF) of how claims data was previously accessed on the Magellan site vs. how to access now on Availity Essentials.

Additional options for viewing EOP/EOB data: If you receive your payment for Magellan claims through ECHO Health, the ECHO portal also offers access. And, if you use a clearinghouse and are enrolled to receive ERA/835, you may be able to access EOP/EOB data by contacting your clearinghouse or using their portal.
