Nina,
Have you considered doing laser hair and tattoo
removal? I think you could do this, (state laws
permitting), and make a very nice living. Let me know
if you are interested, I have more info.

A good friend and NP just joined Lammico and got a great deal with patient
compensation to boot - so check them out.  I plan on it because NSO has been
a disappointment.  Hope this helps.

Hi,

I would like to know if anyone knows of any malpractice insurance companies
that insure nurse practitioners in private practice.

I currently have Marsh Affinity.  The policy was up for renewal in January.
I had my renewal application and related documentation sent in by the middle
of January.  When I called the other day to find out what the status is I
was told that the underwriters have to review the renewal policy and decide
if they want to continue providing my coverage.  They told me that this
would take at least 3 weeks.  In the meantime I have no coverage as of
January 31 and I have to just sit and wait.  I would like to check out other
options, just in case they come back and say that they do not want to
continue to cover me.  I have had absolutely no claims or incidents
regarding med malpractice.

NSO will not provide coverage to me, because I also do cosmetic procedures
such as facials, etc.

There are real slim pickings out there regarding what insurance companies
will cover APNs in private practice.  The ones that do have extremely rigid
rules.

I don't hear about a lot of medical malpractice suits against APNs in
private practice, yet these insurance companies do not want to get involved
with us.

Can anyone provide any assistance or advice?


Thanks

While I realize NSO is the most popular insurance for nurses/np's - if you
are doing anything they think might be "iffy" they will not insure.
Sometimes that can mean having your own practice without physician
involvement (as I found out with another company) or in the case of NSO -
they would not insure me because I have an Acupuncturist in the office (not
an employee, but an independent provider - she is her own legal entity and

NSO is not very advanced practice friendly.

They don't want to insure nurse practitioners in private practice.

They also don't want to insure anyone who does aesthetic procedures.

I have had some past experience with them and they are very difficult to
deal with.

I would not recommend them to any nurse.

Marsh Affinity has it own quirks about APNs in private practice.

It seems that there are no malpractice insurance companies that understand
the role of an advance practice nurse.

Audrey,

I think it is also governed by the different states.

If you are practicing in WA, your practice is much less restricted then
those of

us on the east coast.

That is the main problem with the insurance companies that I have dealt with
over here.

They don't understand the scope of practice of an APN.

I have to also send them copies of the state board practice acts.

I have also had to have the Director of Health Policy for the AANP get
involved with some of

my malpractice insurance issues.

Hope you continue to have good luck with NSO.

That is not the case with many of us over here on the east coast.

Thanks

Colleagues,

 

Forgive the cross posting, but I wanted to get this out to as many of you as
possible.

 

If there was a blog or a website that was geared toward NPs in Business (any
kind of NP business/practice), and another one geared to health care
consumers about NP Practice, would you be willing to participate? 

 

The first one would be geared toward NP business owners and those who wish
to start a business (different types of practice and business). I envision
it being our own experiences, a place to ask questions and get answers. A
resource for those starting out and those of us already there. It would
require input from other NP's as I can not possibly do it myself. Would you
be willing to write an article, post to the blog, make comments, answer
questions, talk about your practice, and/or ????

 

The second one would be geared toward health care consumers and the public
in general. What NP's can do (ie scope of practice), advantages of having an
NP as your primary care provider, etc.  Education is sorely needed (just
yesterday, I had to explain to a rep for an A1c device, that I was "the
doctor" and not "the nurse" and I could indeed order and perform the test!).
Again, I ask if you would be willing to participate. You would be able to
talk about resources in your neck of the woods, your own practice, the types
of practices, etc. (I also hope to get some "real" patients to give their
input on the difference in health care they receive from NP's).

 

I look forward to hear your comments, thoughts, and suggestion.

  The first one would be geared toward NP business owners and those who

envision it being our own experiences, a place to ask questions and get

make comments, answer questions, talk about your practice, and/or ????



  The second one would be geared toward health care consumers and the

of having an NP as your primary care provider, etc. Education is sorely 
needed (just yesterday, I had to explain to a rep for an A1c device, 
that I was ?the doctor? and not ?the nurse? and I could indeed order 
and perform the test!). Again, I ask if you would be willing to 
participate. You would be able to talk about resources in your neck of 
the woods, your own practice, the types of practices, etc. (I also hope 
to get some ?real? patients to give their input on the difference in

 I look forward to hear your comments, thoughts, and suggestion.

I would definitely be an active participant and share the horrible
experiences I have been put through the last five years in private, rural
health practice (my own) in Louisiana where the good ole boys thrive and the
rest of us try to survive and our BON is snowed by the Medical Community and
association as are our legislatures and private insurances who back doctors
and legislators to keep us in our places not being credentialed or allowed
on their credentialing boards and therefore we are either not paid or paid
out of network.  How long can anyone hang onto private insurance patients
who have to pay all or 40% on top of their premiums?  None!  Even though in
the 5 years I have offered free diabetic education classes in my office and
in another town 20 miles away every four months and have diagnosed close to
3000+ diabetics most of whom begged their docs to test them further for
diabetes and the doc told them no.  Then when I tell them that when they are
dx they have actually had diabetes for a good 10 to 15 years, they get so
mad because they think about all the time that has been wasted not
preventing further damage to their organs!  A lot of these have been private
insurance and they are faithful, but unless they get a respite from the
cost, they have to eventually leave which is so exasperating - all the work,
teaching, getting them to goal, checking their feet, HgA1C q 3 months, eye
exams yrly as well as urine for microalbumin,ect., etc.  And all of the
other patients who I treat as family and probably shouldn't, but they need
so much teaching and prompting, checking up on (I call my staff and I the
blood sugar police, the blood pressure police, the breathing police and we
call to check on them until we get them straightened out.  Making house
calls to 80 and 90 yr old sweeties who I am so afraid will break something
if they have to come all the time to my office - or the 60 yr old retarded
girl whose mother died of a heart attach a few months after I started going
to see them at home in the country of a farming community (we are all
farming in Southwest LA, the ones who are not oil or blown away by the
hurricaines) 25 - 30 miles from my office - and asked me to please continue
seeing her daughter if something happened to her ( she must have had a
dream...) anyway she is bed bound, totally dependent on her sister and niece
who have taken care of her for last 5 years since the mother died and have
sustained accusations by home healths that they were not taking good care of
the girl, that the girl was too bad and they should put her in a nursing
home, that I was just a NP and they should see a doctor  - well they
promised their mother and grandmother that they would keep her home and care
for her and they have done an excellent job - I stop by without notice when
I have to go to a meeting in north or central LA and she is always clean,
and well cared for - she has her moments and times when she is ill, has
chronic UTI's, has a PEG tube because she goes on strike every now and then
and won't eat, mediport for the many times she has to have antibiotics, for
which her insurance is Medicare ( her social security from her father is
$100 too much for Medicaid and so they must pay for ambulance trips to
hospital or any other place which is quite expensive, medication needed for
current infection and which medicare will not pay for and so sister, who can
ill affort to, has to pay for the expenses whatever they are.  I coukd
probably write an encyclopedia but had better not.  Had better go to bed so
I can teach two diabetic classes tomorrow after seeing patients in am at
noon and after afternoon class to help other NP that will sub for me
tomorrow.

 

But I have plenty to offer about the pitfalls and what I have learned from
every mistake I have made in the book.  I love the idea of a patient blog
also and could probably get patients to add their comments about their
horrible experience  with doctors and why they are so happy to see me as a
NP who explains everything to them and listens to their concerns when
doctors DO NOT!

 

Let me at it!

Colleagues,

 

Forgive the cross posting, but I wanted to get this out to as many of you as
possible.

 

If there was a blog or a website that was geared toward NPs in Business (any
kind of NP business/practice), and another one geared to health care
consumers about NP Practice, would you be willing to participate? 

 

The first one would be geared toward NP business owners and those who wish

it being our own experiences, a place to ask questions and get answers. A
resource for those starting out and those of us already there. It would
require input from other NP's as I can not possibly do it myself. Would you
be willing to write an article, post to the blog, make comments, answer
questions, talk about your practice, and/or ????

 

The second one would be geared toward health care consumers and the public
in general. What NP's can do (ie scope of practice), advantages of having an
NP as your primary care provider, etc.  Education is sorely needed (just
yesterday, I had to explain to a rep for an A1c device, that I was "the
doctor" and not "the nurse" and I could indeed order and perform the test!).
Again, I ask if you would be willing to participate. You would be able to
talk about resources in your neck of the woods, your own practice, the types
of practices, etc. (I also hope to get some "real" patients to give their
input on the difference in health care they receive from NP's).

 

I look forward to hear your comments, thoughts, and suggestion.

I'm thrilled that so many of you want to participate! I've purchased two
domain names - a business one and a practice one.nothing is up yet, so I'll
share those later. I'll start work on the sites this weekend (need to finish
taxes first!). I'll email those of you who have responded off list.

 

If you've not yet responded, but would like to participate, just let me
know.  If you are in need of information, yet don't want to participate by
writing, that's good too.give us your questions so we can make sure they get
addressed.

 

Feel free to respond off list if you like, just make sure you put "NP Site"
or something similar in the subject line so I can find it.

 

Thanks,

 

Barbara C. Phillips, NP

Hey all,
   
  Sorry, no reply in a while, I have been wayyy too busy but, as I am sometimes reminded; (and as I am quite sure you all are very aware), life (sometimes) is Hell. 
   
  It starts like this:
   
  We all usually come into it wet, cold, naked, screaming, covered with blood, being dragged by our feet, away from our mothers, hung upside down, getting slapped by someone wayyyy bigger than us, and having very bright lights shined in our faces.
   
  From there, it gets worse.
   
  Okay, sorry that was my rant for today - laugh or cry folks - whatever gets you through the day.
   
  Here is a generic site for hair and tattoo removal, it has some great introductory info.  
   
  http://www.lasertreatments.com/Lasertattooremoval/index.html
   
  I have a doctor friend / coworker who wants me to do this with him part-time, but I am way too busy.  He owns the laser and says the factory rep provides all the training, the laser was about $60K and reasonable financing is available.  He assures me it is very easy to do and very profitable.  I think this would be a great way to get up some major funds initially and then once you get a practice going, hire someone to do it, and branch out to do whatever your heart desired including this piece to keep revenue up.  
   
  Check out these aesthetic NP forum posts and articles:
   
  http://nurse-practitioners.advanceweb.com/Common/editorial/editorial.aspx?CC=66581
   
  http://nurse-practitioners.advanceweb.com/common/editorial/PrintFriendly.aspx?CC=66682
   
  Also, there was a great introductory article in Dec. 2006 Advance for NPs about laser hair removal, see:
   
  http://nurse-practitioners.advanceweb.com/common/EditorialSearch/AViewer.aspx?AN=NP_06dec1_npp41.html&AD=12-01-2006
   
  Let me know what you all think.
   
  Keep working hard - everybody on welfare needs your taxes!
   
  Regards!

      Hey Diego,
   
  I think several of us were interested in the information specifically regarding tattoo removal.  Can you help us out of send it to individual emails?

I am not in private practice, nor own one.  But I like
the idea of Blog.  We can learn more from each other
and help each other.

I'm thrilled that so many of you want to participate! I've purchased two
domain names - a business one and a practice one.nothing is up yet, so I'll
share those later. I'll start work on the sites this weekend (need to finish
taxes first!). I'll email those of you who have responded off list.

 

If you've not yet responded, but would like to participate, just let me
know.  If you are in need of information, yet don't want to participate by
writing, that's good too.give us your questions so we can make sure they get
addressed.

 

Feel free to respond off list if you like, just make sure you put "NP Site"
or something similar in the subject line so I can find it.

 

Thanks,

 

Barbara C. Phillips, NP
