[NPInfo] What a NP can do

[Shelby Havens]

Actually, he would have a very valid point in Florida. The largest health insurance company down here is Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida, and they do not contract with nurse practitioners. Everything gets billed "incidental to" the physician's work. A nurse practitioner cannot earn money for a physician's practice under this arrangement.

I left my hospital position today and took a full time job with my retail clinic. One of the docs I work with at the hospital asked why I was leaving and I said "because you didn't offer me a job" joking a little with him. He answered seriously, "I can't afford to pay you!" I told him he needed to reframe the idea and think how much money I could EARN for his practice. But he still doesn't get it. > > Sue D in MI> > > > > _______________________________________________> > > _______________________________________________> NPInfo mailing list> NPInfo at nurse.net> http://lists.nurse.net/mailman/listinfo/npinfo> *****************************
