Cash to lure doctors and other health workers back to New Orleans area
The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals has started accepting applications for a program to try and lure health care workers to the New Orleans area with a $15 million federal grant. The incentives are designed to get primary care physicians and other health care professionals back.
Provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the grant will provide up to $110,000 in incentive payments to primary care doctors and other health care professionals who relocate to New Orleans or the surrounding areas.
"Rebuilding the health care workforce in the New Orleans region is critical to rebuilding an effective health care system," said DHH Secretary Dr. Fred Cerise. "This program provides a wonderful opportunity for health professionals to come back to New Orleans and contribute to the rebuilding of the area's health care infrastructure."
Under the grant, recipients must commit to three years of full-time professional health care services in the Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines or St. Bernard parishes. The grants will cover loan repayments, sign-on bonuses, malpractice premium payments, relocation expenses, health information technology continuing education expenses and income guarantees.
Family practice, general practice, obstetrics/gynecology, internal medicine, pediatrics and general psychiatry physicians will be eligible for payments from the grant program. In addition to medical doctors, the program will assist dentists, family practice physician assistants, certified nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, registered clinical dental hygienists, licensed clinical or counseling psychologists, psychiatric nurse specialists, licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, licensed clinical social workers and licensed pharmacists.
Physicians, psychiatrists and dentists may receive up to $110,000; mid-level providers may receive up to $55,000 and pharmacists may receive up to $50,000. Providers also may customize a package of incentives. Incentives packages could include up to $110,000 in loan repayment or income guarantees, up to $40,000 for sign-on bonuses or malpractice premium payments, up to $20,000 for relocation expenses and up to $10,000 for health information technology continuing education expenses.
