Once again, Partners Health Plan (PHP) wants to provide an update regarding the NYS Workforce Stabilization Longevity and Retention Supplemental pass-thru payments that we will be distributing on behalf of NY State.

We have been notified that the Department of Health (DOH) has received the necessary approval to fund the two Calendar Year 2021 ARPA Workforce Stabilization Initiatives – the cost-based Longevity Payment and the survey-based COVID-19 Service Payment. DOH has provided PHP with the specific provider award amounts to be paid to each provider. PHP is scheduled to receive the related pass-thru funds from DOH in the third week of November 2022. We will remit the payments to providers according to the list provided by the DOH shortly thereafter.

As we previously informed you, the payments will be made in the form of a check.  Unless we have been provided payment instructions pursuant to our previous solicitations specific to this process, payments will be sent based on provider-payment information from our claim system.

More details will follow as we get closer to the third week of November. 

If you have any questions, please contact us at providerrelations@​phpcares.​org.
