In Underserved Areas


Because of problems in adequately assessng
the unmet demand F- health care in HEW-
designated health manpower shortage areas,
many National Health Service Corps physi-
cians are underused in terms of pat;ents
served. This raises s-rious oucstions about the
extent of unmet demand for health care in
some of these areas, and therefore, the num-
ber of additional physicians with scholarship
service obligations that wili be needed.

This report conta;ns tecorrmendations to the
Secretary of HEW regarding improvements
needed in several Federal programs designed
to affect physician distribution. It also recom-
mends that tile Congress reconsider the need
for continuing the Federal Loan Repayment
Progiam for physicians and the need for HEW
to complete its stdy of physician extende
reimburstrr -nt provided for in the Social
Security Amendments of 1972.
