  1. VII. MUA/MUP -------------------------------------------------- VII-1

  2. Medically Underserved Areas (MUA)& Medically Underserved Populations (MUP) -------------------------------------------------- Objective: Participants will understand: 1) The difference between MUAs & MUPs 2) The information required for a complete submission 3) How each factor is weighted and scored to determine a final Index of Medical Underservice (IMU) Score VII-2

  3. Designation Requirements for Selected Federal Programs VII-3

  4. MUA Criteria -------------------------------------------------- Origin: HMO program and Community/Migrant Health Centers (C/MHC) Measures the degree of underservice of an area (MUA) or a population (MUP) 1. Component: Rational Service Area (RSA) 2. Criteria and Weighted Values: a) [V1] Percent of Population at 100% Poverty b) [V2] Percent of Population > 65 c) [V3] Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) d) [V4] Primary Care Physicians per 1,000 Population 3) Index of Medical Underservice: Value must be < 62.0 VII-4

  5. MUP Criteria -------------------------------------------------- 1. Component: Rational Service Area (RSA) 2. Criteria and Weighted Values: a) [V1] Percent of Population at 100% Poverty b) [V2] Percent Population > 65 c) [V3] Infant Mortality Rate d) [V4] Primary Care Physician serving the low-income pop(200% poverty level) per 1,000 low-income population 3. Index of Medical Underservice: Value must be < 62.0 VII-5

  6. STEPS -------------------------------------------------- • 1. Determine the Rational Service Area (use MSSA) • 2. Assemble data • a) Percent of the population at the 100% poverty level • b) Percent of the population > 65 • c) Infant mortality rate • d) Primary care physicians per 1,000 population • 3. Determine weighted values • 4. Compute the Index of Medical Underservice Score VII-6

  7. STEP 1 -------------------------------------------------- Determine the Rational Service Area (use MSSA). VII-7

  8. Types of MSSAs -------------------------------------------------- Medical Service Study Areas (MSSAs) • Whole County MSSA • Sub-County MSSA VII-8

  9. STEP 2 -------------------------------------------------- • Assemble data on: • a) Percent of the population at the 100% poverty level • b) Percent of the population > 65 • c) Infant mortality rate (IMR) • d) Primary care physicians per 1,000 population VII-9

  10. STEP 3 • Determine weighted values of: -------------------------------------------------- • Percent of the population at the 100% • poverty level • Percent of the population > 65 • Infant mortality rate (IMR) • Primary care physicians per 1,000 • population VII-10

  11. Step 3a(V1) Percentage Population at 100% Poverty -------------------------------------------------- • Determine the percentage of the population in the area at the100% poverty level • Use latest available data (2007 Claritas Population Estimates) • Calculate 100% Poverty: Number at 100% Federal Poverty Level Civilian Population • Determine the weighed value (see table)1 1 This value is the same for both MUAs and MUPs VII-11

  12. 2007 Claritas Population Estimates (Dashboard) VII-11 Source: HWDD - Access Database

  13. Step 3a (V1) Percent Population at 100% Poverty -------------------------------------------------- VII-13

  14. Step 3a (V1) Percent Population at 100% Poverty (continued) -------------------------------------------------- VII-14

  15. Step 3b(V2) Percentage of Population > 65 -------------------------------------------------- • Determine the percentage of the population in the area > 65 years old • Use the latest available data (2007 Claritas Population Estimates) • Calculate percent > 65 years old: Number > 65 years old Civilian Population • Determine the weighted value (see table on next page)1 1 This value is the same for both MUAs and MUPs VII-15

  16. Step 3b(V2) Percent Population > 65 (continued) -------------------------------------------------- VII-16

  17. Step 3b (V2) Percent Population > 65 (continued) -------------------------------------------------- VII-17

  18. Step 3c(V3)Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) -------------------------------------------------- • Use the OSD available data (5-year average) or OSD-approved State Department of Health data Department of Public Health’s Center for Health Statistics website: http://www.cdph.ca.gov/certlic/birthdeathmar/Pages/default.aspx Use the IMR for the service area (MSSA) or countywide • Calculate Infant Mortality Rate Number of Infant Death Number of Live Births • Determine the weighted value (see table on next page)1 x 1,000 1 This value is the same for both MUAs and MUPs VII-18

  19. Step 3c(V3) Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) (continued) -------------------------------------------------- VII-19

  20. Step 3c(V3) Infant Mortality Rate (continued) -------------------------------------------------- VII-20

  21. Step 3d(V4) Providers per 1,000 Population -------------------------------------------------- • Determine the FTE: MUA – All primary care physicians are counted MUP – All primary care physicians servicing the population group are counted Must collect inpatient and outpatient hours • Determine the population: MUA = civilian population MUP = number in that population group (e.g., low-income pop = pop at or below the 200% poverty) • Calculate Providers per 1,000 population: MUA:Total FTE1MUP:Total FTE Civilian PopPop to be designated • Determine the weighted value (see table) X 1,000 X 1,000 1 All physician must be counted (including J-1 Visa physicians, NHSC physicians, etc.). For MUA designations, the HPSA adjustment factor for the FTE is not used. VII-21

  22. FTEs - Geographic Designation -------------------------------------------------- 1 Dr. Liver is an NHSC loan repayment recipient , counted as 1.0 FTE 2 Dr. Spleen spends 10 hours/week doing research 3 Dr. Lung spends 15 hours/ week in administration VII-22

  23. FTEs – Low-Income Population Designation -------------------------------------------------- VII-23

  24. Step 3d(V4) Providers per 1,000 Population -------------------------------------------------- Left Column – find the range which includes the ratio of primary care physicians per 1,000 population for the area being examined. VII-24

  25. Step 3d(V4)Providers per 1,000 Population (continued) -------------------------------------------------- VII-25

  26. STEP 4 -------------------------------------------------- Compute the Index of Medical Underservice Score (IMU). VII-26

  27. Compute the Index of Medical Underservice Score -------------------------------------------------- The IMU Score is determined by adding the values of each of the four factors. V1 + V2 + V3 + V4 =IMU Score IMU < 62.0 Qualifiesfor designation as an MUA/MUP IMU > 62.0 Does notqualify for designation as an MUA/MUP VII-27

  28. Time Saving Tips -------------------------------------------------- • Before surveying providers, check the IMU score of the first 3 variables • If V1 + V2 + V3 are > 62.0, the area will not designate as an MUA or MUP • If the IMU > 62, then review rational service area to determine if other boundaries would be appropriate • If not an MUA, check if area would designate as an MUP VII-28

  36. Proposed MSSA is 66a VII-36

  37. The orange area is a designated MUA, and part of the designation is in MSSA 66a and part MSSA 63- because of this the whole designation can be thrown out VII-37
