What is the Impact of Reimbursement on Nursing Care?
The reimbursement rates from Medicare and Medicaid directly impact the quality and availability of nursing care. Lower reimbursement rates may limit resources, affecting staffing levels, and the quality of care provided. Conversely, higher reimbursement rates can enable better staffing, improved facilities, and enhanced patient care. Understanding the reimbursement landscape helps nurses advocate for better policies and resources.
