Universal Citation: 25 TX Admin Code ยง 13.33
Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024
(a) The department will designate a practice located in an area that has an insufficient number of primary care physicians providing services to the eligible client populations if it is determined that:
(1) the ratio of population-to-primary care
physicians for the practice's service area is above 3,000:1; or
(2) the ratio of population-to-primary care
physicians is above 3,000:1 for the geographic area surrounding the practice .
This applies to practices that draw patients from a broad geographic area, such
as an entire city or county, where the practice's total service areas may not
have a ratio above 3,000:1 as required under paragraph (1) of this subsection,
but the practice may be located in an area with a shortage of primary care
physicians.
(b) The department will designate a practice serving a disproportionate number of clients within eligible client populations if it is determined that:
(1) over 50% of the practice's patients are
from eligible client populations; or
(2) the proportion of the practice's patients
representing eligible client populations is at least twice the proportion of
persons in the practice's service area who are eligible client
populations.
