If you are a physician practicing in a rural community, you may qualify for rural incentives. The Rural Physician Count is the foundation for all rural incentives and is used to determine rural physician benefits and the community's overall Rural Retention Program score. It is important to have accurate physician information so funding can be appropriately allocated.
