Non-Affiliation Disclaimer
These tools are independent reference tools and are not affiliated with or endorsed by HRSA, CMS, or any government agency. Bonus eligibility and payment are determined solely by CMS based on official Medicare rules and HRSA's shortage-area designations. Always verify your eligibility and exact bonus amounts using official CMS and HRSA resources before making billing or contractual decisions.
J-1 Waiver Check Disclaimer
The J-1 Waiver Check is an informational tool only. It compares a location against publicly available HRSA geographic HPSA and MUA/MUP designations to show whether it meets the federal baseline commonly used in Conrad 30 and HHS J-1 visa waiver programs. It does not evaluate any individual state's additional Conrad 30 requirements (such as specialty-specific score cutoffs, Medicaid-percentage rules, or slot availability), does not determine or guarantee waiver eligibility, and is not legal or immigration advice. Final eligibility decisions rest with the state Conrad 30 program, the U.S. Department of State, and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Always confirm your eligibility with your state's Conrad 30 Primary Care Office and consult qualified legal counsel before relying on these results for any visa or employment decision.
Full & Partial-County HPSAs
This tool identifies whether your location falls within a designated HPSA. Some ZIP codes split across full- and partial-county HPSA boundaries may require an AQ modifier on claims. Verify your exact billing requirements with your MAC or CMS's published bonus ZIP code list.
