Family Planning, Access, Care, and Treatment Program
Family PACT
Providing comprehensive family planning services to eligible California residents since 1997
ATTENTION Family PACT Providers: The Family PACT application will be migrating from the Medi-Cal Providers website to the CalHEERS Family PACT portal on January 13, 2025. The Health Access Programs Client Eligibility System will be disabled on February 3, 2025; after that date all Family PACT client enrollment, changes, and deactivations will be completed exclusively through the CalHEERS Family PACT portal.
For existing users to access the new portal, users will need the most current site certifier contact information in PAVE to receive the login credentials. If Providers do not have a site certifier in PAVE, email the site certifier information (NPI, first and last name, email address) to providerservices@dhcs.ca.gov by December 13, 2025. For more information, check the News and Updates section below or the Family PACT Portal Resources.
