How Do Reimbursement Policies Impact Nursing Practice?
Reimbursement policies set by insurance companies and government programs determine what services are covered and at what rate. These policies can influence the scope of practice for nurses by dictating which procedures and treatments are reimbursable. For example, if a particular type of [preventive care](#) or [chronic disease management](#) is not covered, nurses may be limited in the care they can provide to patients.
