How Can Nurses Assist Patients with Out of Pocket Payments?
Nurses can provide invaluable assistance through: 1. Education: Informing patients about the costs of services and potential financial assistance programs. 2. Resource Identification: Pointing patients towards community resources, charitable organizations, and governmental assistance programs. 3. Financial Counseling: Offering guidance on managing medical bills and understanding insurance benefits. 4. Advocacy: Advocating for patients with healthcare providers and insurers to reduce costs and improve access to necessary services.
