About this Annual Assessment
Psychiatrist and Dentist shortages continue to be a problem in Montana, particularly in rural areas and among low-income populations. In accordance with the federal designation guidelines, the Montana Primary Care Office continues to track and assess primary care needs and the physician workforce across the state. HPSAs may be designated as having a shortage in primary medical care, dental or mental health providers. They may be geographic areas, specific population groups, or public facilities.

This year, the Montana Primary Care Office has contracted with WIM Tracking to complete the HPSA assessments for the dental and behavioral health segment.
If you have questions regarding the completion of this year’s questionnaire, please contact Jena Smith at 406.640.1230 or jena@wimtracking.org.
