DSRIP PPS Primary Care Plan

In the six counties served by the Alliance For Better Health Care PPS (Alliance), there are approximately 519 primary care providers (PCPs) that have attributed Medicaid beneficiaries. Over 92% of these practitioners are open to new Medicaid beneficiaries. Of these 519 PCPs, 254 also participate in other PPSs in our region. In addition, the network has 573 specialists and 257 hospital based specialists. Our organizational partners include three hospital systems and two FQHCs. The seven hospitals include; Ellis Medicine and Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital; St. Mary’s Healthcare Amsterdam and St Peters Health Partners comprised of St. Peter’s Hospital, Albany Memorial Hospital, Samaritan Hospital and St. Mary's Hospital in Troy. The two FQHCs are Whitney M. Young Jr. Health Center and Hometown Health Center. While Alliance physicians are currently managing Medicaid and Medicaid MCO patients, they are also caring for Medicare Fee For Service, Medicare Advantage, and Commercial and self-insured patients through their individual contracts with commercial insurance companies.
