The list of “medically underserved” areas for FEHB program purposes is changing slightly in 2014, potentially affecting enrollment decisions for next year. States on that list are deemed to have critical shortages of primary care physicians. The designation requires FEHB fee-for-service plans to provide benefits to participants who use any health care provider licensed to perform the medical service at issue. The new list is Alabama,Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Montana and South Carolina are being dropped.
