Medicare beneficiaries are increasingly seeking care at community health centers and other health professional shortage areas (HPSAs) that can be challenging to adequately staff. The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) is a primary federal strategy to increase the supply of primary care providers in HPSAs. This study uses Medicare Part D provider billing data to document the role that NHSC participants and recent alumni play in caring for Medicare patients, including dual eligible Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, in HPSAs.
