Equity and Practice Transformation

​​

In July 2023, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) announced the Equity and Practice Transformation (EPT) Payments Program.

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

There are three pathways to the EPT Payments Program:

    • Initial Planning Incentives Payments (IPIP)
    • Provider Directed Payment Program (PDPP)
    • Statewide Learning Collaborative (SLC)
