Called several offices and nobody called you back? Or called and the number no longer exists?
It is not that you are doing something wrong. The federal government already measured what is happening to you in San Germán: 2 official shortage designations (dental health, 20 of 25 points; mental health, 18 of 25 points). What you are living has a name, a number, and a date. Here it is, in plain language.
🏛️ The federal government already recognized the shortage here
San Germán has 2 active federal provider-shortage designations (HPSA): dental health (score 20/25) · mental health (score 18/25). That is not our opinion: it is HRSA, the federal health agency. What that means and the money it brings →
The numbers that do not add up (until you see the third one)
The official record and what you see, side by side. Neither one is lying; they measure different things. The line below each card explains which.
San Germán has 12 dentists in the federal registry.
And it is still a federal dental shortage area: 20 of 25 points, among the highest scores there are.
How can both be true? The designation measures access for the low-income population: 7,886 people per available dentist for that group. There are dentists. What is missing is an appointment for those on the government plan.
3 psychiatrists and 14 psychologists in the registry.
For the low-income population, the federal count comes to 30,694 people per available mental health provider.
The designation measures outpatient appointments available to low-income patients, not total offices. That is why the federal number and the list above can say different things and both be true.
⚠️ And a detail almost nobody knows: the federal government does not remove anyone from the registry on its own. When a doctor or dentist retires, moves, or closes the office, it is on them to take themselves out of the system, and many never do. That is why these counts are a ceiling, not a floor: the real shortage can be worse than the number says. And it is why people call an office "in the registry" and find it already closed. Every name below links its federal NPI so you can confirm before making the trip.
The diagnosis already comes with money
This information was always public. It was scattered across four federal databases, in English. We just gathered it and put it in plain language.
What almost nobody knows: a shortage designation is not just a diagnosis. It is a key. It unlocks real federal money:
- 💵A psychologist, counselor, clinical social worker, or psychiatrist practicing here can qualify for the federal government to repay up to $50,000 of their student loans (National Health Service Corps, 2 years of service).
- 💵A dentist or dental hygienist, the same: up to $50,000, and San Germán's 20/25 score competes near the top of the priority list.
The problem is already recognized and funded. What is missing is not a diagnosis. It is more professionals knowing the key exists.
