Bill overview
The Ensuring Access to General Surgery Act of 2023 directs the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to study the availability of general surgeons, particularly in underserved areas. The goal is to determine if current shortage designations accurately reflect the need for surgical care and to explore better methods for identifying surgery shortage areas. HRSA will analyze data and potentially establish a formal designation process, publishing a list of shortage areas and regularly reviewing them.
