South Carolina H3025 amends the Geriatric Physician Loan Forgiveness Program to expand eligibility and increase reimbursement limits.

South Carolina H3025 amends the Geriatric Physician Loan Forgiveness Program by expanding the pool of eligible health professionals and increasing the total amount of reimbursable loans. Physicians must agree to practice in the state for at least five years post-fellowship, accept Medicare and Medicaid patients, and not discriminate based on ability to pay. The program allows reimbursement of student loan payments, with a cap of $50,000 multiplied by the number of years of fellowship completed. Up to four physicians can participate annually, contingent on funding availability.
