Navy HSCP and HPLRP

[dtrainer]

I recently joined the Navy HSCP program. My question is, does the HSCP program disqualify one from the Health Professions Loan Repayment Program? From reading the instructions I have found it only appears that HPSP, FAP, or being a USUHS graduate are disqualifying. Would it be possible to take student loans to pay my tuition and then have them paid for under the HPLRP once I was out of residency? I realize it would incur addidtional ADO but I plan on staying three years after my four year obligation. With prior service credit that would put me at 20.

Thanks for any insight.

Yes, you may use HPLRP. Key points to remember:

1) You cannot apply for HPLRP until you have completed your initial
commitment.
2) You may not take a multi-year special pay (MSP) contract along
with HPLRP.

Thanks NavyFP!

I am trying to understand the relationship between ISP and MSP. Do they have an affect on each other? Does one receive ISP even while fulfilling an obligated committment?

All board eligible/certified docs practicing in that specialty receive ISP. A couple of years ago they changed it so that some ISPs are larger when attached to an MSP contract. A great example is General Surgery. Without an MSP contract, ISP is $29K and with a contract it goes up to $50K
