  • Provider Portal FAQ

  • How do I create my online account?

    When logging in for the first time to the updated Avesis portal, providers must create a new and unique username and password that is specific to each provider ID/PIN and tax ID number combination. A default username of PIN and Tax ID for each location is no longer available.

    You will need to select “Sign Up” from the Avesis Vision login box. This will take you to a page to enter your TIN and your Avesis PIN. This is the same TIN and PIN you previously used to log in.

    Upon entering your TIN and PIN, you will be asked to create your account. Follow these steps to create the account:

    • Select a provider associated with the location. This is the provider who will be linked to the account.
    • Create a username and password.
    • Set up your security questions. These security questions will be used to retrieve your password.
    • Select “Create Credential.” Go back to the main provider page, and log in with your new username and password.

  • How do I create a location account?

    You can create one account for locations that have multiple providers! This will allow you to submit claims for all providers at that location. To create this feature, follow these steps:

    • Select “Sign Up” from the Avesis Vision login box.
    • Enter your TIN and your Avesis PIN. This is the same TIN and PIN you previously used to log in.
    • Check the box next to “I am administering all providers’ claims in the service location” on the Create New Username and Password form.
    • Enter the contact information for the person who will be administering the claims for that location.
    • Verify that the service location entered matches the information for the location of the account.
    • Ensure that the Office Name is showing in the area under “Select a provider in the location.”
    • Create a username and password.
    • Set up your security questions. These will be used to retrieve your password.
    • Select “Create Credential.” Go back to the main provider page and log in with your new username and password.

  • The provider ID number I am using to create my username and password is not working. What should I do?

    Please call the Avesis Customer Care team at (800) 828-9341 for further assistance.

  • I created a new username and password, but our office’s old information is populating when we submit a claim. What should I do?

    Please contact our Customer Care team at (800) 828-9341 for further assistance to confirm that your account was created with the most up-to-date credentials to match our system.

  • How do I unlock my account?

    Your account will automatically unlock 10 minutes after the account is locked. Once it is unlocked, you will be able to enter your username and password.

  • How do I locate my password?

    If you forget your password, simply click on “Forgot your password” in the login box. You will be asked to enter the username, first name, and last name associated with the account. The next page will ask you to answer the security questions that you set up when you first created your account. If you answer correctly, you will be asked to create a new password.

  • How do I locate my username?

    Please call Customer Care at (800) 828-9341 to retrieve your username.

  • I am a Medicare and Medicaid Provider. How do I log in to submit a claim?

    Select Medicare/Medicaid in the login box on the Provider portal. Enter your username and password for your Medicare/Medicaid account, and click the “Log in to Medicare/Medicaid” box.

  • When I attempt to submit a claim with ICD-10 codes for a DOS of 10/1/15, why do I get an error stating invalid code?

    When submitting a claim, please be sure the user is capitalizing the H in all diagnosis codes and the V in all service codes. You must also remove the decimal from the diagnosis code. These adjustments should eliminate the error. Any claims with a date of service before 10/1/15 still require ICD 9 codes.
