This overview discusses the proposed Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) and Medically Underserved Area (MUAA) designations. It details current HPSA designation types, including automatic designations for areas with a population ratio of 3,500:1 and 3,000:1 for high-needs areas. The proposed methodology suggests a new baseline ratio of 3,000:1, adjusted based on population and special needs indicators. The aim is to improve access to healthcare resources in underserved populations, essential for Health Safety Net facilities.
