Section UWS 23.03 - Mental health shortage area

(1) The Board of Regents shall identify as a mental health shortage area any geographic area that conforms to the definition in s. UWS 23.02(5).

(2) In addition to conforming to s. UWS 23.02(5), a written agreement between the Board of Regents and a physician specializing in psychiatry shall require that the physician enter into an agreement with the board or boards created under s. 51.42, Stats., which operate in the mental health shortage area, to provide at least 8 hours of psychiatric care per week to clients of the board or boards. The Board of Regents may waive this requirement on a year-to-year basis upon a showing in writing by the physician that additional psychiatric services are not required by the county in the mental health shortage area, that the s. 51.42, Stats., board is not able to provide for such services at their reasonable and customary rate, or for other reasons approved by the Board of Regents.
