announces that the listing of entities
and associated Health Professional
Shortage Area (HPSA) scores, which
will receive priority for the assignment
of National Health Service Corps
(NHSC) scholarship recipients available
for service during the period October 1,
2015, through September 30, 2016, is
posted on the NHSC Jobs Center Web
site at https://nhscjobs.hrsa.gov. The
NHSC Jobs Center includes sites that are
approved for service by NHSC scholars;
however, entities on this list may or
may not have current job vacancies.
Eligible HPSAs and Entities
To be eligible to receive assignment of
Corps members, entities must: (1) Have
a current HPSA status of ‘‘designated’’
by the Division of Policy and Shortage
Designation, Bureau of Health
Workforce, HRSA as of January 1, 2015,
for placements October 1, 2015, through
December 31, 2015, or as of January 1,
2016, for placements January 1, 2016,
through September 30, 2016; (2) not
deny requested health care services or
discriminate in the provision of services
to an individual because the individual
is unable to pay for the services or
because payment for the services would
be made under Medicare, Medicaid, or
the Children’s Health Insurance
Program (CHIP); (3) enter into an
agreement with the state agency that
administers Medicaid and CHIP, accept
assignment under Medicare, see all
patients regardless of their ability to pay
and post such policy, and use and post
a discounted fee plan; and (4) be
determined by the Secretary to have (a)
a need and demand for health
manpower in the area; (b) appropriately
and efficiently used Corps members
assigned to the entity in the past; (c)
general community support for the
assignment of Corps members; (d) made
unsuccessful efforts to recruit health
professionals; (e) a reasonable prospect
for sound fiscal management by the
entity with respect to Corps members
assigned there; and (f) demonstrated a
willingness to support and facilitate
mentorship, professional development,
and training opportunities for Corps
members.
Priority in approving applications for
assignment of Corps members goes to
sites that (1) provide primary medical
care, mental health, and/or oral health
services that matches the discipline to a
primary medical care, mental health, or
dental HPSA of greatest shortage,
respectively; (2) are part of a system of
care that provides a continuum of
services, including comprehensive
primary health care and appropriate
referrals (e.g. ancillary, inpatient, and
specialty referrals) or arrangements for
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703

secondary and tertiary care; (3) have a
documented record of sound fiscal
management; (4) will experience a
negative impact on the capacity to
provide primary health services if a
Corps member is not assigned to the
entity, and (5) are a nonprofit or public
entity to which Corps members may be
assigned. Sites that provide specialized
care, or a limited set of services, will
receive greater scrutiny and may not
receive approval as NHSC service sites.
This may include clinics that focus on
one disease or disorder or offer limited
services, such as a clinic that only
provides immunizations or a substance
abuse clinic.
Entities at which NHSC scholars are
performing their service obligations
must assure that (1) the position will
permit the full scope of practice and
that the clinician meets the
credentialing requirements of the state
and site; and (2) the NHSC scholar
assigned to the entity is engaged in the
requisite amount of clinical practice, as
defined below, to meet his or her service
obligation:
Full-Time Clinical Practice
‘‘Full-time clinical practice’’ is
defined as a minimum of 40 hours per
week for at least 45 weeks per service
year. The 40 hours per week may be
compressed into no less than 4 work
days per week, with no more than 12
hours of work to be performed in any
24-hour period. Time spent on-call does
not count toward the full-time service
obligation, except to the extent the
provider is directly treating patients
during that period.
For all health professionals, except as
noted below, at least 32 of the minimum
40 hours per week must be spent
providing direct patient care in the
outpatient ambulatory care setting(s) at
the NHSC-approved service site(s)
during normally scheduled office hours.
The remaining 8 hours per week must
be spent providing direct patient care
for patients at the approved practice
site(s), providing direct patient care in
alternative settings as directed by the
approved practice site(s), or performing
practice-related administrative
activities.
Teaching activities at the approved
service site shall not exceed 8 hours of
the minimum 40 hours per week, unless
the teaching takes place in a HRSAfunded Teaching Health Center (see
Section 340H of the Public Health
Service Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 256h).
Teaching activities in a HRSA-funded
Teaching Health Center shall not exceed
20 hours of the minimum 40 hours per
week.
