Accessing EIM/ESM

To begin using EIM/ESM, contracted providers must submit required information online.

New Virtual Gateway Providers:

New Virtual Gateway providers going live with contracts on EIM/ESM for the first time need to submit their organization information using the online Virtual Gateway Organization Management webpage. This information must be completed and submitted online by an Authorized Representative for your organization.  An Authorized Representative is an individual who has the legal authority to sign on behalf of your organization, as evidenced by your organization's charter or bylaws.

The Authorized Representative must designate an individual(s) to be their VG Access Administrator(s). He or she is responsible for approving, modifying, and/or removing user access privileges for any of the VG's business services used by your organization.
