Eligibility for MUA status is based on the demographics of the entire population of an area: population over 65 years, poverty rate, infant mortality rate, and ratio of primary care physicians per 1,000 population. These four factors are converted into an Index of Medical Underservice (IMU) score. Areas with scores equal to or less than the national average IMU (62.0) are designated as MUAs.

MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS. Federally identified areas in need of certain health services (not necessarily physician services) based on infant mortality rates, poverty rates and percent of elderly in the population.
