Section 5-7 - Eligibility Criteria for Provider Recruitment Grant Program Applicants

(a) For-profit and non-profit hospitals, physicians, and healthcare clinics in Wyoming, and other appropriate Wyoming organizations (including county and city government agencies, non-profit organizations, and in-state provider recruitment agencies) are eligible to apply for grants under this Act.

(b) Providers may not recruit themselves, nor may they be recruited by their immediate family members.

(c) The recruiting entity may recruit more than one provider per application period. A separate application is required for each provider to be recruited.

(d) The recruited provider cannot already practice in Wyoming, including part-time. The only exceptions are providers completing residency training in Wyoming and military providers (not practicing in Wyoming other than to fulfill a military obligation) which may still be recruited under this Act.

(e) Providers relocating to Wyoming to become employed by the state or by the United States are not eligible.

(f) An organization recruiting a provider to treat that organization's employees, family members, or former employees is not eligible. An organization is eligible if the recruited provider's practice is "open to the public" and patient access is not in any way limited to a relationship with the organization.
