What is DSRIP? The Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment Program (DSRIP) is a Medicaid restructuring plan that reinvests money into the health care system in an effort to transform how hospitals and providers deliver care to Medicaid recipients
On April 14, 2014 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that New York has finalized terms and conditions with the federal government for a groundbreaking waiver that will allow the state to reinvest $8 billion in federal savings generated by Medicaid Redesign Team (MRT) reforms.

The DSRIP program will promote community-level collaborations and focus on system reform, specifically a goal to achieve a 25 percent reduction in avoidable hospital use over five years. Safety net providers will be required to collaborate to implement innovative projects focusing on system transformation, clinical improvement and population health improvement. Single providers will be ineligible to apply. All DSRIP funds will be based on performance linked to achievement of project milestones.
The $8 billion reinvestment will be allocated in the following ways:
In addition, the special terms and conditions also commit the state to comprehensive payment reform and continuing New York’s effort to effectively manage its Medicaid program within the confines of the Medicaid Global Spending Cap.
