2021 Idaho Code|Title 39 - HEALTH AND SAFETY|Chapter 61 - IDAHO CONRAD J-1 VISA WAIVER AND NATIONAL INTEREST WAIVER PROGRAMS|Section 39-6102 - PURPOSE.

39-6102. PURPOSE. Under this chapter, rural and underserved communities in Idaho would be able to apply for the placement of a foreign trained physician after demonstrating that they are unable to recruit an American physician, and all other recruitment/placement possibilities have proven to be inaccessible. (1) The "Idaho Conrad J-1 Visa Waiver Program" authorizes the Idaho department of health and welfare to recommend up to thirty (30) foreign trained physicians per federal fiscal year to locate in communities that are federally designated as having a health workforce shortage. No more than ten (10) of thirty (30) recommendations may be for physician specialists other than pediatrics, internal medicine, family medicine, obstetrics, gynecology, psychiatry or general surgery. Applications for specialists must demonstrate a need for the type of specialty held by the petitioning physician. Final approval of J-1 visa waiver requests are made by the United States bureau of citizenship and immigration services. (2) Provided health care organizations located in federally designated shortage areas do not utilize the full annual allocation of J-1 visa waivers, the department will accept no more than ten (10) waiver applications six (6) months after the beginning of each federal fiscal year for petitioning J-1 visa waiver physicians to work in areas without a federal shortage area designation. The practice and petitioning physician must serve patients who reside in federally designated areas of underservice. The maximum number of flex waiver applications available to specialists is limited to no more than five (5) per federal fiscal year. (3) The "National Interest Waiver Program" allows the Idaho department of health and welfare to testify that it is in the public’s interest that a waiver be granted to a foreign trained physician who commits to locating in a community that is federally determined as having a health workforce shortage. Final approval of the national interest waiver request is made by the United States bureau of citizenship and immigration services.

39-6106. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS. (1) J-1 visa waiver or national interest waiver request. The department may only submit a waiver request when: (a) The application contains all of the required information and documentation; and (b) The application meets all state and federal criteria; and (c) Foreign exchange physicians having a J-1 case number assigned by the United States department of state have paid all federal processing fees; and (d) The applicant has paid the state of Idaho application processing fee. (2) Limitations of department actions. (a) Prior to submission of an application, the department may provide information to the applicant on preparing a complete application. (b) The department will not be responsible for adding any information to incomplete application packets. (c) For applicants who have benefited from department waiver requests previously, the applicant’s history of compliance will be a consideration in future decisions for waiver requests. (d) In any single program year, a health care facility will not be allotted more than two (2) J-1 visa waiver request applications per practice location. (e) The shortage area designation must be current on the date the United States department of state reviews and recommends the application and on the date the immigration agency approves the J-1 visa waiver and national interest waiver. Any application that is being submitted to the department at the end of the three (3) year health professional shortage area designation cycle may be summarily denied if the renewal is not obtained. (i) Participation by the department in the J-1 visa waiver program and in the national interest waiver program is completely discretionary and voluntary. The department may elect not to participate in the program at any time. The submission of a complete waiver application package does not ensure the department will recommend a waiver. The department reserves the right to recommend or decline any request for a waiver. (ii) The department, its employees or agents are held harmless of any perceived consequence for the denial of a waiver petitioner, or the approved placement of one that is not favorable. (iii) Application procedures for J-1 visa waiver physician placements were developed by the department in compliance with P.L. 103-416 and subsequent revisions. The procedures for the issuance of national interest waiver recommendations were developed by the department in compliance with 8 CFR sec. 214.12 and 8 CFR sec. 245 and subsequent revisions. These procedures are subject to updates and changes at any time. Interpretation of these procedures rests solely with the department in consultation with the appropriate federal agencies.

2021 Idaho Code|Title 39 - HEALTH AND SAFETY|Chapter 61 - IDAHO CONRAD J-1 VISA WAIVER AND NATIONAL INTEREST WAIVER PROGRAMS|Section 39-6107 - APPLIED PRINCIPLES.

39-6107. APPLIED PRINCIPLES. (1) Option of last resort. The J-1 visa waiver and national interest waiver programs are considered a final source for recruiting qualified physicians. These programs are not a substitute for broad recruiting efforts for graduates from United States medical schools, but an option of last resort. Any application that qualifies for consideration under any other interested government agency or federal program, such as the one administered by the department of health and human services, must be submitted under that program in lieu of the J-1 visa waiver program. The option of last resort principle does not apply to national interest waiver petitioning physicians for whom a J-1 visa waiver request was issued by the state of Idaho; in which case, physician retention is the objective if it is determined to be in the public interest. (2) Waiver request applications will only be considered for health care facilities that can provide evidence of sustained active recruitment over a period of at least six (6) months for the physician vacancy in the practice location. The six (6) month vacancy requirement does not apply to a national interest waiver petitioning physician for whom a J-1 visa waiver request was issued by the state of Idaho. (3) The J-1 visa waiver program and national interest waiver program will be used to assist health care facilities that can document the provision of health care services to all residents of the federally determined area of underservice. When a federal designation is for an underserved population, the health care facility must document the provision of care to, and assure access by, the underserved population.

39-6109A. CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS FOR NATIONAL INTEREST WAIVERS. Throughout the period of obligation, regardless of physician’s visa status, the employment contract must: (1) Meet state and federal requirements; (2) Not prevent the physician from providing medical services in the designated shortage area after the term of employment. A noncompetition clause or any provision that purports to limit the national interest waiver physician’s ability to remain in the area upon completion of the contract term is prohibited; (3) State that the physician must serve medicare clients, medicaid clients, low-income clients, uninsured clients and the population of the federal designation for the area of underservice full time; (4) Guarantee the physician a base salary of at least ninety-five percent (95%) of step II of the local prevailing wage for the field of practice in the area to be served; (5) Specify that benefits offered are not included as part of the base salary; (6) Include annual, sick, continuing medical education and holiday leave; (7) State that amendments shall adhere to state and federal national interest waiver requirements; (8) Acknowledge that the contract may be terminated only with cause and cannot be terminated by mutual agreement until the statutorily required five (5) years of medical service have expired; (9) Be assignable only by the employer to a successor with concurrence of the department; (10) Include the practice site address, the days and hours of practice and field of medicine; (11) Include a statement that the employment will start within ninety (90) days after the waiver approval has been issued; (12) Not be subject to changes which result in termination of contract, change in practice scope or relocation from a site approved in the application. Any proposed changes must be presented in writing to the department for consideration and approval at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed change. Moving or placement of a physician to a location that was not approved by the department will result in the physician and applicant being in noncompliance with the program. It will also limit the applicant’s future participation in the program; and (13) Be signed by both the national interest waiver petitioning physician and the applicant employer, and the date it is signed must be clear.
