On January 13, 2025, the Family Planning, Access, Care, and Treatment (Family PACT) program’s client eligibility and enrollment transaction services will transition from the Health Access Programs Client Eligibility System to a new Family PACT portal.

If Family PACT providers do not have a current site certifier in PAVE, they must email the site certifier information (National Provider Identifier, first and last name, and email address) to providerservices@dhcs.ca.gov by December 13. Detailed instructions for accessing the Family PACT portal will be emailed to all enrolled and actively billing Family PACT site certifiers on January 12, 2025.
To support Family PACT providers during this transition, beginning in December 2024, providers will have access to comprehensive training materials and webinars through the Family PACT Online Training Center Learning Management System.
