The physician is clinically strong. The credentials are there. Then the questions turn to HEDIS, and the answers stop.

For 22 years, PPS Consulting Group has recruited physicians across the nation, most of that work for hospitals. As the outpatient primary care side of the practice grew, and through years of work in the Florida market, that same moment repeated in interview after interview. HEDIS. RAF. Prior authorization. Capitation.

In outpatient primary care, managed care is not a side topic. It is the structure of the work. The physician operates inside it every day, and the plan measures the practice through it.

It happens to physicians who are new to the system. It also happens to physicians who have been in outpatient practice here for years, because this material was never taught in any organized way. It gets picked up in pieces, on the job, whenever there is time.

So PPS Consulting Group built the course.

Organized from the ground up. It starts with the terminology, because that is where the gap begins, and it carries through to the advanced material. Not a summary and not an overview. A complete program.

Now open for enrollment, built for the Florida market:

The Managed Care Fundamentals Program
The Advanced Managed Care Program

Available in English and in Spanish. The participant chooses the language.

Each program enrolls separately. Introductory launch price of $299 per program. Regular price $350.

Enrollment is open at www.ppsconsultinggroup.com, under Courses and Training.

Florida is where we are starting. A program for the Puerto Rico market will be announced shortly, and other states will follow.

In the interview, the clinical questions go well. Then they ask about HEDIS.

After 22 years recruiting and placing physicians across the nation, and especially in Florida, PPS Consulting Group kept seeing the same gap, in physicians new to the system and in physicians with years of experience here. Managed care was never taught in an organized way. It gets learned in pieces.

So we built the course that teaches it properly, from the terminology all the way to the advanced material.
Now open for the Florida market:

The Managed Care Fundamentals Program and The Advanced Managed Care Program

In English and in Spanish. You choose.
Each program enrolls separately.
Launch price $299 per program. Regular $350.

Puerto Rico and other states coming soon.

At PPS Consulting Group, we help physicians, hospitals, and healthcare organizations grow through strategic solutions designed to strengthen their operations and achieve their goals.

Important HRSA Update (July 1, 2026)

HRSA announced it will give State Primary Care Offices (PCOs) additional time to review and update certain Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) designations identified through its 2025 National Shortage Designation Update (NSDU).

Instead of withdrawing them on July 1, 2026, HRSA will keep those designations in Proposed for Withdrawal status. The affected communities remain recognized as HPSAs until a final decision is made through a future Federal Register Notice, expected on or before July 1, 2027.

Key point: this extension applies only to HPSAs identified through the NSDU process. Withdrawals requested directly by State PCOs will continue to move forward as planned.

Reminder for companies/clinics and ACN physicians: if an area lost its Primary Care designation but still holds its Mental Health designation, it is still considered an area of critical need, and companies/clinics may continue hiring ACN physicians. The Florida State Surgeon General established this in an August 2022 order (s. 458.315, Florida Statutes), which defines areas of critical need as primary care and mental health HPSAs.

BOLETIN INFORMATIVO

Cambios en las designaciones HPSA de HRSA: estado actual y cronograma esperado

Fecha: 31 de mayo de 2026
Preparado por: ACN Florida Primary Care Coalition

RESUMEN

HRSA tiene en marcha un ciclo de revisión de las designaciones de Áreas de Escasez de Profesionales de Salud (HPSA). Algunas áreas han sido marcadas como propuestas para retiro. El retiro oficial se ejecuta mediante un aviso del Federal Register, que se publica por lo general alrededor del 1 de julio de cada año. A la fecha de este boletín, HRSA aún no ha publicado el aviso de 2026 que ejecute el retiro, por lo que las designaciones siguen activas.

QUÉ ESTÁ OCURRIENDO

HRSA revisa periódicamente las designaciones HPSA mediante la Actualización Nacional de Designaciones de Escasez (National Shortage Designation Update, NSDU). El ciclo vigente es la NSDU de 2025, en la cual HRSA introdujo nuevos datos a los HPSA existentes. Las áreas que dejaron de cumplir los criterios federales quedan clasificadas como propuestas para retiro (Proposed for Withdrawal).

QUÉ SIGNIFICA EL ESTATUS PROPOSED FOR WITHDRAWAL

Es una alerta temprana de que un área podría perder su designación HPSA, pero no es definitiva. Durante ese período la designación generalmente sigue activa y contada, mientras los socios estatales y locales tienen la oportunidad de revisar los datos y enviar actualizaciones o correcciones. Si HRSA emite luego un retiro final, la designación se elimina y los programas o beneficios que dependen de un HPSA activo pueden dejar de aplicar.

CÓMO Y CUÁNDO SE EJECUTA EL RETIRO

El retiro de una designación no es automático. Solo se hace efectivo cuando HRSA publica un aviso en el Federal Register, lo cual ocurre por lo general una vez al año, alrededor del 1 de julio. Por eso la fecha de julio es la fecha acostumbrada del aviso anual, no una fecha exacta garantizada ni un anuncio ya emitido.

ESTADO A LA FECHA DE ESTE BOLETÍN

No se ha localizado un aviso del Federal Register de 2026 ya publicado que ejecute el retiro. El tablero de datos de HRSA todavía muestra designaciones vigentes con datos al 27 de mayo de 2026. Además, la Florida Primary Care Office no ha emitido un anuncio sobre este ciclo a la fecha de este boletín. Por lo tanto, el retiro de julio sigue siendo lo esperado y no algo que ya haya salido o que Florida haya comunicado oficialmente.

RECOMENDACIÓN

Las organizaciones en áreas marcadas como propuestas para retiro deben verificar su estatus por dirección o condado en el tablero de HRSA y, de ser necesario, coordinar con la Florida Primary Care Office, que es el enlace del estado de Florida con la rama de designaciones de escasez de HRSA.

FUENTES

1. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), reporte trimestral de estadísticas de HPSA, data.hrsa.gov. Establece que las designaciones no se retiran hasta que se publica un aviso del Federal Register, por lo general una vez al año, alrededor del 1 de julio.
2. HRSA, tablero de Áreas de Escasez de Profesionales de Salud (Health Workforce Shortage Areas), data.hrsa.gov, datos al 27 de mayo de 2026. Muestra designaciones aún vigentes.
3. Cámara de Representantes de Florida, análisis legislativo del proyecto HB 809 (febrero de 2026). Explica el significado del estatus Proposed for Withdrawal y cita la NSDU 2025 de HRSA.
4. Senado de Florida, análisis legislativo del proyecto SB 1480. Cita la NSDU 2025 de HRSA y las estadísticas trimestrales de designaciones del primer trimestre del año fiscal 2026.
5. Florida Department of Health, Health Professional Shortage Designations (página de la Florida Primary Care Office), floridahealth.gov, actualizada el 12 de marzo de 2026. No contiene anuncio sobre el ciclo de retiro ni sobre julio de 2026.
