MESA Portal for Providers
The Mississippi Division of Medicaid’s transition to a new Fiscal Agent, effective Oct. 3, 2022, includes a new Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) and provider portal known as MESA: Medicaid Enterprise System Assistance. The goal of MESA is to enhance connections between health services systems and improve access to health information for Medicaid providers and the members they serve.
Access to the new MESA web portal is required for submitting, adjusting, and correcting claims; to access, save, or print your Remittance Advice (RA); submitting and amending prior authorization (PA) and requests; and verifying member enrollment.
The information and links on this page are designed to help providers register in the new portal and begin using it efficiently.
