About HPSA Designations
A Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) is a federal designation by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) indicating a shortage of primary medical care, dental, or mental health providers. Designations are based on physician-to-population ratios, travel times, and poverty rates.
Why this matters for H-1B: a shortage designation can support some physician waiver and payment programs. The Conrad 30 program permits a state health department to request up to 30 J-1 physician waivers per year, subject to federal and state requirements. Medicare bonus payments have separate rules. A designation or a below-benchmark wage does not by itself prove misuse or wage suppression.

Questions about the data & methods
About this HPSA designation
What is an HPSA?
A Health Professional Shortage Area is a geographic area or population group that the federal government designates as having too few health professionals. The designation is used to direct resources and to allow certain visa programs, like the J-1 waiver, to place physicians there.
What does the HPSA score mean?
The HPSA score rates the severity of the shortage on the scale the federal government sets, with points for provider ratios, poverty, and travel distance. This designation scores 17. A higher score means a more severe shortage.
Which discipline does Rolling Hills Clinic - Red Bluff Medical & Dental cover?
The designation is for dental and is currently listed as designated (active). A county can hold separate designations for primary care, dental, and mental health shortages.
Why does an HPSA matter for H-1B physicians?
Shortage designations can support physician workforce and waiver programs. Check the recorded designation status and each program’s requirements. A hospital’s county or an H-1B filing does not by itself establish eligibility or show that a specific hire fills the designated shortage.
