What role do Nurse Practitioners (NPs) play in reimbursement?
Nurse Practitioners can directly impact reimbursement by providing primary and specialized care that may be billed independently. However, the reimbursement rates for NPs can differ from those for physicians, and some services provided by NPs may not be reimbursed at the same rate. Understanding the specific rules governing NP reimbursement is essential for maximizing revenue.
