Employer and Member Portal Transition
Avera Health will be transitioning to a new electronic medical record system in May 2026. Avera Health Plans will transition to the new member portal, Avera MyChart, along with Avera in May.
As part of the Avera MyChart transition, Avera Health Plans will also launch a new employer portal called Employer Link to centralize enrollment, billing, eligibility, claims and employee information. Employer Link replaces current employer tools and simplifies day-to-day plan administration.
Important Dates
- Employers must verify administrators by April 15 to support a smooth transition. All organizations should fill out this form to designate up to two administrators, even if the current administrator will remain the same.
- Employer Link will go live May 12, 2026.
- The Avera MyChart portal for members and patients will go live May 30, 2026.
- Our current online enrollment platform and employer portal will be retired on May 30, 2026.
Avera MyChart Toolkit
These resources will help your team educate employees about MyChart and important steps to ensure seamless coverage during the transition.
Premium Payments and EFT Validation
Employers will be asked to enter and validate EFT information in the new system to ensure secure, accurate billing. This applies both to employers setting up EFT for the first time and to those who currently use EFT, as you will need to create a new account and reestablish it.
