The Find Shortage Areas: Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) and Medically Underserved Area/Population (MUA/P) by Address tool helps you determine if a specific address is located in a designated shortage area. Shortage areas are designated by HRSA as specific geographic areas or sites that have the greatest need for health care. Shortage areas are categorized by specific needs (Primary Care HPSA, Mental Health HPSA, Dental Care HPSA, or MUA/P).

The HPSAs Eligible for the Medicare Physician Bonus Payment advisor tools allows the user (physician) to determine if an address is eligible for bonus payments. Medicare makes bonus payments to physicians who provide medical care services in geographic areas that are HRSA-designated as primary medical care Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) and to psychiatrists who provide services in HRSA-designated mental health HPSAs.

The search results indicate if the address is in a Primary Care HPSA or Mental Health HPSA, along with state, county name, Census Tract, zip code, and a map identifying the address.
