Dorado, Puerto Rico and Trevose, Pennsylvania, October 9, 2026 – EHVAhealth, the health payer platform of EHVA.ai, today announced that WellNet Healthcare, a third-party administrator (TPA), has selected EHVAhealth’s conversational voice AI to automate its inbound provider calls. EHVAhealth is purpose-built for health plans, TPAs, payers, and benefit administrators that need to answer high volumes of provider calls without adding headcount.

Provider call automation for TPAs, health plans, and payers

Provider calls are one of the largest recurring costs in health plan administration. Provider services teams at TPAs and payers field thousands of repetitive calls every month about member eligibility, benefits, deductibles, and claims status, and every minute a provider spends on hold slows down patient care and revenue cycle work. Voice AI for health insurance lets self-funded health plans and their administrators answer those calls instantly, around the clock, with the same accuracy as a trained representative.

AI eligibility verification, benefits verification, and claims status inside Five9 and Salesforce

Under the agreement, EHVAhealth’s AI agents will handle WellNet’s inbound provider calls end to end across medical, dental, and vision plans, including member eligibility verification, benefits verification, deductible and out-of-pocket accumulator balances, and claims status inquiries. The deployment runs alongside WellNet’s existing Five9 contact center and Salesforce CRM. When a provider needs a person, calls hand off to WellNet’s live agents with the context of the conversation, and call activity is logged back to Salesforce, so the TPA keeps a complete record of every provider interaction.

The result: providers get accurate eligibility, benefits, and claims answers on the first call, any time they call, and WellNet’s provider services team spends its time on the member and client work that needs a human. Because EHVAhealth works inside the contact center and CRM a health plan already runs, TPAs and payers can automate provider calls in weeks rather than replacing their call center technology.

How it works at WellNet

One provider call, start to finish.

Step01

A provider calls

The call reaches WellNet’s Five9 contact center and EHVAhealth answers right away, day or night.

Step02

EHVAhealth answers

Eligibility, benefits, deductible and out-of-pocket balances, and claims status, for medical, dental, and vision plans.

Step03

Handoff with context

When a provider needs a person, the call goes to a WellNet live agent with the conversation so far.

Step04

Logged to Salesforce

Every call is written back to Salesforce, so WellNet keeps a complete record of each provider interaction.

What WellNet’s AI agents handle

The provider calls that fill a queue, answered on the first try.

Eligibility verification

Confirms a member’s active coverage before the provider sees the patient.

Benefits verification

Coverage, copays, and coinsurance for the member’s actual plan.

Accumulator balances

Deductible and out-of-pocket amounts met to date.

Claims status

Where a claim stands and what was paid, without a callback.

Medical, dental, and vision

One line covers every plan type WellNet administers.

Warm handoffs

Live agents get the caller with the conversation’s context, so nobody starts over.

“At WellNet, providers and members come first, and that means answering provider questions quickly and accurately every time. EHVAhealth fits into the Five9 and Salesforce tools our team already uses, so we can deliver faster service on eligibility, benefits, and claims without disrupting how we work.”

Kathy SamannsChief Operating Officer, WellNet Healthcare

“WellNet’s team moved fast because they saw how quickly this could work inside the systems they already run. Plugging into an existing contact center instead of replacing it is how we get TPAs live in weeks, not quarters, and we’re proud to have WellNet on board heading into SIIA.”
