To: Ian.Flanagan@azblue.com · Subject: Availity Essentials — Contract StatusHi Ian,
I'm Umer Zafar, the new Program Manager working with Matt Ladich on the Digital portfolio. I've been brought in to drive the Availity Essentials Medicaid onboarding.
Can you give me a quick status on where the contract stands? Specifically: what's blocking signature, and what's the earliest realistic close date?
Happy to jump on a quick call this week.
Thanks,
Umer Zafar
