You do indeed make a difference! Happy Nurses Month!

You do indeed make a difference! Happy Nurses Month!

In this episode of the podcast, Don Self and I discuss out-of-network billing including:


 The differences between in-network and out-of-network billing, as well as the advantages and disadvantages for providers and patients. The importance of understanding the patient's insurance policy, setting fees accordingly, and choosing whether to file the claim as assigned or not assigned. The patient's right to waive their insurance and pay cash, and the importance of having patients sign a waiver if they elect not to use their insurance.And more!You'll find resources, the video, and more at NPBusiness.org/73

Do you ever get requests to provide medical treatment for friends, family, or staff? Many providers get that on a regular basis, in the office, and at social and sports events. But the question is, should you?
This episode of the NP Business Matters podcast was inspired by an NPBO™ Member who was looking for a policy on treating staff in her practice. This question comes up not infrequently on social media as well.
The answer to this question is not easy and one needs to take into consideration the ethical and legal implications of doing so.

Owning a nurse practitioner practice can be both rewarding and challenging. While providing high-quality care to patients is always the top priority, increasing revenue is also essential to keep the practice running smoothly. For nurse practitioner practice owners who are looking to boost their income, there are several strategies they can implement to achieve their goals. Whether it's increasing Relative Value Units (RVUs), expanding services, improving patient retention, or becoming more efficient at coding, and collections, there are many ways to maximize revenue and grow the practice.
