MESA Implementation Resources
General
The transition from the Conduent (Envision) system to the Gainwell (MESA) system is scheduled for 10/3/2022. For ongoing updates and resources related to the implementation, please visit the below implementation updates link. Prior to following the below Training or EDI instructions, we also encourage providers to “whitelist” or “mark safe” the Gainwell email addresses so that your email server does not automatically mark their emails to you as Spam or Junk. Those instructions are linked as a PDF below.
