Proposition 56, the California Healthcare, Research and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act of 2016, now includes proposed supplemental payments for physicians participating in Medi-Cal Fee-For-Service (FFS) and Medi-Cal Managed Care.
With the current public health situation that our country is experiencing, it is necessary for IEHP to take additional precautions to ensure the health and well-being of our community. These precautions are being reviewed, and discussed daily, by our Executive leadership team and will be implemented as deemed necessary. Future COVID-19 precautions may include reduced on-site staffing and prioritization of electronic payments over printed checks.
To minimize any disruption or delay in payment, we recommend that you sign up for electronic payments as soon as possible if you have not done so already. Our team is available to assist you with the necessary paperwork required to make this change or to answer any questions you may have. The team can be reached by e-mailing
vendormaintenance@iehp.org or by calling (909) 294-3928 and selecting Option 1.
Our priority remains keeping our Members, Providers, Vendors, and Team Members safe while doing what we can to minimize the potential spread of the virus. We will continue to work hard to provide you with the level of service you have come to expect during this uncertain time.
