The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) runs several loan programs for students in the health care professions. These programs are:
- Health Professions Student Loan (HPSL) Program
- Primary Care Loan (PCL) Program (part of HPSL)
- Loans for Disadvantaged Students (LDS) Program
- Nursing Student Loans (NSL) Program
Schools participating in any of these programs are responsible for collecting on a loan when the student leaves school. If a school is unable to collect on a loan, it must show that it exercised due diligence during the collection process before it can write off the loan.
This course explains the due diligence requirements for collecting and writing off loans.
