Rural and Underserved Health Care Staffing Act recognizes locum tenens physicians as independent contractors for federal programs.
The Rural and Underserved Health Care Staffing Act aims to recognize the importance of locum tenens physicians by classifying them as independent contractors for federal programs. This Act ensures that locum tenens physicians are not considered employees of the facilities they serve, affecting their status under various federal laws and programs. It applies to services performed after the Act's enactment and does not alter state laws, tax codes, or eligibility for federal health programs.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
