Nurses play a crucial role in managing patients with HDHPs:
- Education: Nurses educate patients about the specifics of their HDHP, including what services are covered without meeting the deductible and the importance of preventive care.
- Resource Navigation: Nurses help patients navigate their healthcare options and find affordable care solutions, such as community health centers or pharmacy discount programs.
- Advocacy: Nurses advocate for patients by communicating with insurance companies to clarify coverage details and by working with healthcare providers to ensure necessary treatments are accessible.
