Federal Employees Health Benefits
Program: Medically Underserved Areas
for 2010
The U.S. Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) has completed its
annual determination of the States that
qualify as Medically Underserved Areas
under the Federal Employees Health
Benefits (FEHB) Program for calendar
year 2010. This is necessary to comply
with a provision of the FEHB law that
mandates special consideration for
enrollees of certain FEHB plans who
receive covered health services in States
with critical shortages of primary care
physicians. Accordingly, for calendar
year 2010, the following states are
Medically Underserved Areas under the
FEHB Program: Alabama, Arizona,
Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New
Mexico, North Dakota, South Carolina,
South Dakota, and Wyoming. For the
2010 calendar year, no new States have
been added.
DATES: Effective Date: January 1, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ingrid Burford, 202–606–0004.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEHB law
(5 U.S.C. 8902(m)(2)) requires special
consideration for enrollees of certain
FEHB plans who receive covered health
services in States with critical shortages
of primary care physicians. This section
of the law requires that a State be
designated as a Medically Underserved
Area if 25 percent or more of the
population lives in an area designated
by the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) as a primary medicalcare manpower shortage area. Such
States are designated as Medically
Underserved Areas for purposes of the
FEHB Program, and the law requires
non-HMO FEHB plans to reimburse
beneficiaries, subject to their contract
terms, for covered services obtained
from any licensed provider in these
States.
FEHB regulations (5 CFR 890.701)
require OPM to make an annual
determination of the States that qualify
as Medically Underserved Areas for the
next calendar year by comparing the
latest HHS State-by-State population
counts on primary medical-care
manpower shortage areas with U.S.
Census figures on State resident
populations.

I. Background
On June 1, 2009, the Postal Service
filed a notice announcing that it has
entered into an additional Global
Expedited Package Services 1 (GEPS 1)
contract.1 GEPS 1 provides volumebased incentives for mailers that send
large volumes of Express Mail
International (EMI) and/or Priority Mail
International (PMI). The Postal Service
believes the instant contract is
functionally equivalent to previously
submitted GEPS contracts, and is
supported by the Governors’ Decision
filed in Docket No. CP2008–5.2 Notice at
1. It further notes that in Order No. 86,
which established GEPS 1 as a product,
the Commission held that additional
contracts may be included as part of the
GEPS 1 product if they meet the
requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633, and if
they are functionally equivalent to the
1 Notice of United States Postal Service Filing of
Functionally Equivalent Global Expedited Package
Services 1 Negotiated Service Agreement, June 1,
2009 (Notice).
2 See Docket No. CP2008–5, Decision of the
