Yes. Under the current rules, existing RHCs do not have to be in a current shortage area. When the proposed regulations are finalized, an existing RHC that does not meet the location requirements will have to apply for an exception. For additional information regarding the MUA/MUP designation contact the Shortage Designation Branch: sdb@hrsa.gov or 1-888-275-4772. Press option 1, then option 2.
