Primary Care Shortage
Nov.–Dec. 2009
The shortage of primary care physicians has become an increasingly popular topic over the past few years. However, staff physician recruiters reported that these types of positions were generally filled within six months. Internal medicine reported the greatest time to fill a vacant position.
Physician Recruitment requires IRS, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and Stark related physician recruiting compliance:
Do you have a “Genuine” need?
1 A Physician to population ratio
(See GEMANAC Ratios)
2. Demand for a particular medical service / are there long waiting times.
3. HPSA – Health Professional Shortage Area
4. A reasonable reduction in number physicians, retiring anticipated
5. Lack of physicians serving indigent or Medicaid?
Have you done a COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT PLAN /MEDICAL STAFF PLAN?

A demonstrable community need for the physician is evidenced by:
(1) A physician to population ratio as suggested by the Graduate Medical Education National Advisory Committee (GMENAC) that is deficient in the specialty being recruited.
(2) Demand for a particular medical service in the community coupled with a documented lack of availability of the service or long waiting periods for the service, if the physician is
being recruited to increase availability of that service.
(3) Federal designation of the community at the time of the recruitment agreement as a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA).
(4) A reasonably expected reduction in the number of physicians of that specialty serving the hospital's service area due to the anticipated retirement within the next three year period of physicians presently in the community.
(5) A documented lack of physicians serving indigent or Medicaid patients within the hospital's service area, provided that newly recruited physicians commit to serving a substantial number of Medicaid and charity care patients.
