Finger Lakes Performing Provider System

What Finger Lakes Performing Provider System does

Finger Lakes Performing Provider System (FLPPS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit healthcare transformation organization founded in 2014 and headquartered in Rochester, NY. It operates as a network-based convener coordinating hundreds of clinical and community-based provider organizations across a 13-county region in Upstate New York, with its mission focused on redesigning the healthcare delivery system for the Medicaid population. Core partners include regional health systems (Strong Memorial Hospital, Highland Hospital, Rochester Regional Health), federally qualified health centers (Finger Lakes Community Health, Jordan Health, His Branches, Oak Orchard Health), nursing homes, behavioral health providers, and community-based organizations.

FLPPS's product portfolio is organized around interconnected programs: the historical $565 million NYS DSRIP Program (2016-2020), the Greater Rochester Health Home Network (GRHHN, acquired in 2018) which provides care management for high-risk Medicaid patients, the $118 million NYS Career Pathways Training Program, the Transformational Community Care Coordination (TC3) Program, a Learning Management System (LMS) hosting 850+ courses serving 3,500+ individuals, and the System Transformation and Community Investment (STACI) Program spanning behavioral health, maternal health, social determinants of health, and care management. Additional programs include a Black Doula Collaborative, a Community Home Health Aide Training Program, Community Navigation, and Strategic Consulting/Program Management Support services. Underlying technical infrastructure comprises the LMS platform and, post-merger, Rochester RHIO's 14-county health information exchange capabilities combined with Common Ground Health's data analytics and community engagement expertise.

FLPPS's revenue model is grant- and contract-based rather than commercial. The organization does not sell products or services; instead, it operates as a program administrator and pass-through entity funded primarily through large government healthcare transformation contracts (DSRIP, ARPA allocations from City of Rochester and Monroe County, NYS Department of Health), federal grants (HRSA), and foundation grants (Mother Cabrini Health Foundation). NYS designations as a Workforce Investment Organization and Lead Health Home provide exclusive regional authority over workforce development funding and Medicaid Health Home administration. The organization operates with a lean team of 11-50 employees that coordinates with hundreds of network partners, and in April 2026 will merge with Common Ground Health-Rochester RHIO to form a combined entity led by CEO Carol Tegas.

• University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC): A major academic health system partner in the Finger Lakes region and named FLPPS provider partner; comparable as a regional healthcare delivery and workforce training entity, though much larger and broader in scope.
