Update on CPC TPA 

OPA Meeting with Ministry of Health 

OPA met with the Ministry of Health (MoH)on Friday, March 27, 2026. 

At this time, OPA has been advised that the TPA for the CPC Program is not ready for distribution. We appreciate that this uncertainty and delay will be frustrating for you recognizing that as we approach April 1, we are not able to share any information about changes in either EOC compensation or volume.  

As you will be aware from our prior communications with you, we have strongly advocated for meaningful increases in both compensation for EOCs and the volume of EOCs that are allocated to the program given the demand for services in the community.   

In discussion with the Ministry they have confirmed the following:  

1. The exact date for the distribution of the next TPA cannot be confirmed and may not occur before April 1.  

2. If you continue to provide services AFTER April 1 and BEFORE you are able to sign a new TPA you will be paid for those services IF YOU SIGN and return the new TPA once it is available. Funds cannot be flowed to you before the TPA is fully executed. 

3. Once you receive the TPA the expectation of return is approximately two weeks. You will have to sign and return the TPA in order to be paid for any services that you provide after April 1, 2026 . The services after April 1, 2026, will be paid at the rate in the new TPA Agreement. 

4. If you sign and return the TPA and later find the terms unacceptable, you can withdraw from the CPC Program. You will then be paid for any services delivered from April 1 until your withdrawal. 

We will continue to meet with the CPC Program Team at the Ministry of Health and provide you with any updates as they are available.
