Becoming a Women’s Health Partnership Provider

Why Partner with the Women’s Health Partnership?
We know how important it is for a woman to stay with a health care provider she trusts and to continue regular preventive care. Yet more and more women are finding themselves without health insurance, forcing them to either delay needed screenings, explore “free” sources of care or pay out-of-pocket with their often-limited resources.

As a Women’s Health Partnership Provider, you become part of a network of over 150 health care providers in our region whose patients continue to receive care in a setting with which they are familiar, and with providers who know their histories.

To become a WHP Provider:
Contact us for a Provider Agreement. By signing this Agreement you agree to abide by the state-mandated procedures and accept the NYS Department of Health reimbursement rates for Women’s Health Partnership-covered services. The Women’s Health Partnership agrees to pay for covered services for eligible women and men, provide case management for people in need of follow up and work closely with your office staff when questions or issues arise.
