    SEC. 399V-8. SUPPORT AND DEVELOPMENT OF PRIMARY CARE TEAM EDUCATION CENTERS. (a) Program Authorized.--The Secretary may award grants to eligible entities for the purpose of establishing and expanding primary care team education centers. (b) Amount and Duration.--A grant awarded under subsection (a) shall be for a term of not more than 5 years and the maximum grant award may not be more than $1,000,000 a year. (c) Use of Funds.--An eligible entity receiving a grant under subsection (a) shall use grant funds to establish or expand a primary care team education center to--...

    This establishes a new program for funding primary care team education centers.

  • Section 749A of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 293l-1)

    Limitation.--A recipient of a grant under section 399V-8 shall not be eligible to receive a grant under this section.

    This limits grantees of the new primary care team education centers from also receiving grants under section 749A, focusing their funding to one source.

  • Section 340H(a) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 256h(a))

    Limitation.--A recipient of a grant under section 399V-8 shall not be eligible to receive a payment under this section.

    This imposes a similar funding limitation on grantees of the new program disallowing them from receiving payments under the existing graduate medical education programs.

  • Section 760(c)(2)(A) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 294k(c)(2)(A))

    section 749A(f) → section 749A(g)

    This updates a reference in the existing law to accommodate the newly added grant structure.
