Issued by the Medical Society of the State of New York State

It is the purpose of this Request for Proposal (“RFP”) to entertain bids from organizations that are in a position to assist the Medical Society of the State of New York to develop an organization which we will refer to as a Physician Practice Support Organization (PPSO) which will effectively conduct the eventual transformation of the medical practice business model in the Adirondack Region of New York State to accomplish enhanced health outcomes for the patient population in these communities while improving the reimbursement methodologies for solo, small group and rural practices in the region.

Anchored by three sub-regional service sites, these modifications will be demonstrated through new performance reporting requirements based on evidence-based care and through enhanced reimbursement models that reward the physicians for evidence-based quality of care evaluation within their practices.

The successful bidder to this RFP, together with MSSNY, NYeC and the NYSDOH, will work to assure that physician practices and other provider facilities/organizations across the Adirondack region can, under the guidance of the PPSO, develop and transform to a platform that will provide improved healthcare practices, clinical outcomes and access to care for the region’s diverse patient population within the project’s allotted timeframe at each of the three sub-regional service sites.
