Recruitment of Sites for Assignment of 

Corps Personnel Obligated Under the 

National Health Service Corps Loan 

Repayment Program (FY 2011) 

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services 

Administration, HHS. 

ACTION: General notice. 

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and 

Services Administration (HRSA) 

announces that the listing of entities, 

and their Health Professional Shortage 

Area (HPSA) scores, that will receive 

priority for the assignment of National 

Health Service Corps (NHSC) Loan 

Repayors (Corps Personnel, Corps 

members) during the period October 1, 

2010, through September 30, 2011, is 

posted on the HRSA Web site at 

http://datawarehouse.hrsa.gov/

HGDWReports/OneClickRptFilter.aspx?

rptName=NHSCAppSite

List&rptFormat=HTML3.2. This list 

specifies which entities are eligible to 

receive assignment of Corps members 

who are participating in the NHSC Loan 

Repayment Program (LRP), and Corps 

members who have become Corps 

members other than pursuant to 

contractual obligations under the LRP. 

Please note that not all vacancies 

associated with sites on this list will be 

for Corps members, but could be for 

individuals serving an obligation to the 

NHSC LRP through the Private Practice 

Option. 

Eligible HPSAs and Entities 

To be eligible to receive assignment of 

Corps personnel, entities must: (1) Have 

a current HPSA designation by the 

Office of Shortage Designation, Bureau 

of Health Professions, HRSA; (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; (3) enter into an agreement 

with the State agency that administers 

Medicaid and the Children’s Health 

Insurance Program, accept assignment 

under Medicare, see all patients 

regardless of their ability to pay, 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; (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, or oral health services 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 or arrangements for secondary 

and tertiary care; (3) have a documented 

record of sound fiscal management; and 

(4) will experience a negative impact on 

its capacity to provide primary health 

services if a Corps member is not 

assigned to the entity. In order for a site 

to be eligible for placement of NHSC 

personnel, it must be approved by the 

NHSC through the successful 

submission of a Site Application. The 

Site Application approval is good for a 

period of 3 years from the date of 

approval. 

Entities that receive assignment of 

Corps personnel 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 Corps member 

assigned to the entity is engaged in the 

requisite amount of clinical service, 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. 

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 or teaching 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 clinical services for patients or 

teaching in the approved practice site(s),
