Instructions for the Payment of Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) and Physician Scarcity Area (PSA) Bonuses When the Place of Service (POS) is “Home“.

HPSA/PSA bonuses when POS is 'Home,' because where the service was rendered does
not match what is on the beneficiary file, to be able to bill and receive those bonuses.
