The Work Your Team Runs Through ABILITY, We Staff
What Is Ability Network, and What Is It Called Now?
ABILITY Network built the cloud connectivity layer between providers and payers, with a deep franchise in Medicare work: eligibility inquiries, claim submission and monitoring, and simplified access to the kind of claim detail billers otherwise dig out of Medicare’s FISS through direct data entry. At the time Inovalon acquired it in April 2018, ABILITY reported serving more than 44,000 acute, post-acute, and ambulatory provider sites. Today the applications live on as the Inovalon Provider Cloud: the myABILITY portal era’s ABILITY EASE, CHOICE, and INSIGHT names have carried into products such as EASE All-Payer, Claims Management Pro, Claims Management Medicare Pro, and Eligibility Workflow, with eligibility connectivity Inovalon puts at more than 2,300 payers.
The users have not changed: home health agencies, hospices, and SNFs live in this portal because Medicare is their dominant payer, and hospitals and billing companies use it to keep claim status visible without portal-hopping. The portal is excellent at showing the work. It does not make the phone calls, rebill the RTPs, or assemble the ADR packet. That is the gap this service closes.
Who Is This For?
Provider organizations that run their revenue day through ABILITY applications and are short the hands to work what the portal surfaces: home health agencies juggling NOAs and eligibility re-checks, hospices managing NOEs and sequential billing, SNFs working Part A claims and ADRs, hospital post-acute divisions, and billing companies that manage the portal for many client agencies at once.
Where Medicare-Heavy Providers Lose Time and Money
Patients switch Medicare Advantage plans mid-care, and coverage verified at intake quietly stops matching reality. The claims deny months later.
See the fixReturned-to-provider claims wait in the Medicare queue for a correction nobody has time to make, and sequential billing rules stack the delay across following months.
See the fixA late home health NOA costs a daily payment reduction; a late hospice NOE turns days into provider-liable days. The deadlines are unforgiving and the tracking is manual.
See the fixDocumentation requests carry response deadlines, and assembling the record set is clerical work that competes with today’s billing. Missed ADRs become denials.
See the fixEligibility and Benefits Checks
Our specialists run eligibility the way post-acute billing actually needs it: verified before start of care, then re-verified on a calendar, because Medicare Advantage enrollment changes are where post-acute revenue quietly leaks. Working in your Eligibility Workflow or portal accounts, the team confirms Medicare and MA coverage, checks benefit detail, documents payer changes, and flags anything that affects billing before the claim goes out, including annual plan-switch re-verification.
Claim Submission and Edit Queues
EASE All-Payer runs claims through client-specific payer rules before submission, which means somebody has to work the edits it raises. Our billers clear those queues daily: fix the demographic and coverage mismatches, chase the missing data back to your clinical or intake team, resubmit, and log the pattern so the same edit stops recurring. Submission stays current instead of batching up around whoever knows the payer rules best.
Medicare Claim Monitoring and DDE Work
Claims Management Medicare Pro exists because working Medicare claims in raw FISS DDE screens is slow, and it gives billers direct visibility into claim status, remits, and processing locations. Our specialists live in that view: track claims through the Medicare processing stages, catch suspended and returned-to-provider claims early, make the corrections, and keep home health and hospice sequential billing in order so one stuck claim does not dam the months behind it. Daily production reporting shows what moved, what is stuck, and why.
ADR and Audit Response Tracking
The portal’s alerting can tell you an ADR or audit request landed; it cannot assemble the response. Our team owns the tracking layer: log each request and its deadline, gather the documentation list with your clinical team, assemble and submit the packet through your approved channel, and keep a register your administrator can audit, so no request dies of quiet neglect in a shared inbox.
NOA and NOE Deadline Work
Home health NOAs and hospice NOEs are small filings with outsized penalties: a rejected NOA costs a daily payment reduction, and a late NOE creates provider-liable days. Our specialists file them on admission, watch for rejections the same day, correct and refile, and reconcile filed notices against your census so a missed notice surfaces in days, not at month-end cleanup.
ERA, EFT, and EDI Enrollment Paperwork
Behind clean connectivity sits a pile of enrollment forms: EDI agreements per payer, ERA and EFT enrollments, revalidations, and the follow-up calls when an application stalls. Our team does that paperwork end to end and keeps a status sheet per payer, which matters most when you add a location, change banks, or onboard a new agency into your billing operation.
AR Follow-Up and Aging
Portal analytics show receivables at risk; our billers work them. Aging buckets get owners, payer calls get made and documented, underpayments get flagged against expected reimbursement, and crossover and secondary balances get chased instead of written off, including the crossover claims that quietly miss the secondary payer. You get the aging story in plain numbers every week.

Book Your 2-Week Free TrialHow Our Teams Train and Go Live on ABILITY (Inovalon)
Before anyone touches your production accounts, your team trains on your own SOPs plus the portal workflows your billing lead uses today, from eligibility screens to Medicare claim views, then works supervised alongside a senior team lead through go-live. Every account starts with a written runbook for your agency: which queues get worked at what time, what gets escalated, and what gets reported back each evening. A trained backup shadows the account from day one at no charge, so coverage does not depend on a single person. Every specialist works under an individual HIPAA agreement with named, auditable credentials, never shared logins.

ABILITY (Inovalon) Outsourcing: Frequently Asked Questions
Is ABILITY Network still a product?
The company became part of Inovalon in April 2018, and its applications now sit in the Inovalon Provider Cloud.

The daily workflows are the same.

Eligibility and benefits checks and re-checks, claim submission edit queues, Medicare claim status monitoring and RTP corrections, ADR and audit response tracking, NOA and NOE filing and rejection follow-up, ERA, EFT, and EDI enrollment paperwork, and AR follow-up, each scoped in a written SOW.
