Explore the Deliverables and Key Performance Indicators for the Equity and Practice Transformation (EPT) Payment Program

Introduction

The Equity and Practice Transformation (EPT) Directed Payment Program is organized around 25 population health management milestones, each one developed in partnership with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). EPT practices are eligible to receive payment(s) for meeting one or more of the 25 EPT Milestones. Evidence of milestone completion is in the form of deliverables accepted by the Learning Center during the May 1 and November 1 submission cycles each program year.
