Week 1 Discussion Board

Discuss the following:

  1. Medicare rules pay nurse practitioners (NPs) 85% of the fee paid to physicians for ambulatory care. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) offers full payment to NPs for providing preventive services in an outpatient setting. How might this change affect the quality of care? Access? Costs? (#2 from Chapter 1)
  2. Describe ways the Doctor of Nursing (DNP) provides leadership in helping a health care entity optimize reimbursement from insurers. (Slightly edited #1 from Chapter 2)
