Sets forth additional priorities in approving Scholarship Program and National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program applications. Directs the Secretary to establish a program of incentives to improve Corps recruitment and retention. Directs the Secretary to ensure that the administrative staff of the Corps is adequate and appropriate to administer the Scholarship and Loan Repayment Programs, increasing staff if necessary. Requires the scholarships and the loan repayments to include a dependent allowance. Authorizes the Secretary to: (1) tailor a package of financial assistance that includes both scholarship and loan repayment components; (2) award a partial scholarship to an individual with circumstances that warrant less assistance than provided under specified provisions; (3) permit a third year resident to begin fulfilling a service obligation on a part-time basis; (4) permit an individual who defaults on an obligation or contract under the Scholarship or Loan Programs to partially fulfill the obligation through service, but prohibits such service from substantially supplanting certain penalties; and (5) transfer funds between the Scholarship and Loan Programs as needed due to the availability of applicants. Requires the General Accounting Office to complete an administrative review of the Corps including the administration of the Scholarship and Loan Repayment Programs. Authorizes appropriations for the Corps and for the Scholarship and Loan Repayment Programs. Earmarks a percentage for certain fields. Replaces provisions authorizing appropriations for State loan repayment programs with a requirement that the Secretary use amounts from this authorization to carry out such State programs. Directs the Secretary to make grants to States to establish, or to assist existing, State Offices of Rural Health. Requires matching State funds. Sets forth the required duties of a State Office, including providing leadership and advocacy for rural residents, coordinating activities, making recommendations on quality and cost effectiveness, and cooperating with rural health research centers established under specified provisions. Provides for optional duties of the Offices. Prohibits using grant funds for certain health planning purposes such as certificate of need programs. Authorizes appropriations. Adds references to both M.D. and D.O. degrees to provisions relating to the provision of health services by Corps members.
