Health Equity Pilot Program (HEPP)

In December 2020, UI Health was invited to participate in the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) Health Equity Hospital Quality Incentive Pilot Program (HEPP). As part of the program, BCBSIL offered a targeted infusion of financial resources to improve the healthcare delivery system to provide equal opportunity for health and well-being for patients served by the UI Health System. The HEPP focuses on both patient-facing initiatives and physician focused initiatives.
