Site POC support resources
Watch our NHSC Site POC webinar recording for details on how you can support NHSC clinicians.
To maintain status as a National Health Service Corps (NHSC)-approved site, your site must meet all site requirements. This also applies to auto-approved NHSC sites.
In addition to the NHSC Site Agreement (PDF - 291 KB), your site must meet a set of requirements, as listed in the Site Reference Guide (PDF - 643 KB).
Below is a summary of those requirements:
Continue to maintain the NHSC Sliding Fee Discount Program (PDF - 643 KB).
Submit an NHSC Site Recertification Application every three years (not necessary for eligible auto-approved NHSC sites).
Submit six months of data about your site through our Site Data Tables (PDF - 188 KB) form or online when submitting your site recertification.
Support NHSC clinicians.
NHSC clinicians enter into a contractual agreement with us. As a site, we ask that you allow them the opportunity to fulfill this agreement.
Watch our NHSC Site POC webinar recording for details on how you can support NHSC clinicians.
Specifically, we expect you to support NHSC clinicians in the following ways:
Be sure your site receives NHSC approval prior to a clinician applying for one of our NHSC programs.
Complete NHSC Employment Verification Forms (EVF) through the BHW Customer Service Portal for all NHSC sites.
View our NHSC Site Status Change Request for Site POCs video for information on your role in changes to a clinician's site status
View our NHSC Suspension for Site POCs video for details on completing a clinician's suspension of service request
To maintain a successful partnership with your NHSC clinicians, you need to understand their clinical service requirements.
