Service Incentive Programs
The shortage of primary health care providers in North Carolina is severe, particularly in the State's rural areas. In response to this shortage, the State has pioneered innovative approaches for placing health professionals in its underserved communities. One of these approaches has been the development of practice incentives for primary care providers, including family physicians.
For information on practice incentive programs available in NC, contact the NC Office of Research, Demonstrations and Rural Health Development at (800) 533-8847.
