I am already in the regular Universal Services (USAC) Rural Health Care (RHC) Program. Can I participate in the Pilot Program too?
Signing a LOA with the California Telehealth Network for participation in the RHCPP does not exclude participants from participating in other USAC programs (i.e. Schools & Libraries or RHC). USAC specifically stated that there is no limitation on the number of LOAs that an HCP may sign. Further, USAC treats the RHCPP and the regular Rural Health Care (RHC) program as two totally separate and autonomous programs. A HCP may participate in both programs as long as participation does not cover the same services.
