Equity and Practice Transformation

In July 2023, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) announced the Equity and Practice Transformation (EPT) Payments Program, which is a one-time $700 million initiative for statewide distribution of funding.

The goals of this initiative are focused on:

• Advancing health equity
• Reducing COVID-19 driven care disparities
  
• Investing in upstream care models and partnerships to address health and wellness
• Funding practice transformation aligned with value-based payment models to allow Medi-Cal providers to better serve the Medi-Cal population
  

The $700 million funding is divided up between three programs:

• $25 million for the Initial Planning Incentives Payments (IPIP)
• $650 million for the Provider Directed Payment Program (PDPP)
• $25 million for the Statewide Learning Collaborative (SLC)
