Physicians in California, Texas need direct government loan by May 1 for forgiveness

Physicians in California and Texas must have a direct government loan or consolidate their loans into a direct loan by May 1 to be eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, according to a March 6 news release from the California Medical Association.

This requirement follows the release of the final rule on the national overhaul of the PSLF program by the Education Department.

Physicians in California and Texas recently became eligible for student loan forgiveness through the PSLF program despite state laws prohibiting nonprofit hospitals from employing physicians.

Applications for the new PSLF program open July 1.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
