Study Notes

Primary Care of the Family Reading Notes

  • The scope of practice for nurses isn't consistent across all states.
  • Three themes for future success in nursing include the need for nurses to play a full role in practice, education, and leadership; the need for diversity in the nursing workforce; and the need for improved data to track progress.
  • Healthy People 2030 needs significant improvement.
  • Primary care is defined as continuous, person-centered, relationship-based care that addresses the needs and preferences of individuals, families, and communities.
  • Core competencies for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) include:
    • Domain 1: Knowledge for Nursing Practice
    • Domain 2: Person-Centered Care
    • Domain 3: Population Health
    • Domain 4: Scholarship for Nursing Practice
    • Domain 5: Quality and Safety
    • Domain 6: Interprofessional Partnerships
    • Domain 7: Systems-Based Practice
    • Domain 8: Information and Healthcare Technologies
    • Domain 9: Professionalism
    • Domain 10: Personal, Professional, and Leadership Development
  • The APRN role is based on knowledge of skills and caring.
  • Caring, in nursing, is characterized by the intentional presence of the nurse with another living being, with general nursing patterns represented by the Circle of Caring Model: Courage, Authentic presence, and Advocacy.

Chapter Five: Elements of the Diagnostic Process

  • Onset, duration, characteristics, location, aggravating and relieving factors, and treatment are elements of the diagnostic process.

Reimbursement

  • Payment standards in the U.S. are primarily driven by insurance companies, particularly Medicare and Medicaid.
  • APRNs are receiving third-party reimbursement in more settings, but payments often vary by contract and state regulations.
  • Reimbursement for NPs is sometimes based on "incident to" billing, paying the supervising physician 100% of the charged amount rather than the 85% rate for independent NPs.
  • This method makes it difficult for Medicare to identify and support NP clinicians providing primary care.
  • Efforts are underway to eliminate incident to billing and establish a more unified reimbursement system.

Third-Party Payer Rules

  • Medicare, Medicaid, indemnity insurance companies, managed care organizations (MCOs), workers' compensation, veterans' administration, and auto liability are the seven primary categories of third-party payers.
  • Each payer source has specific policies and fee schedules.
  • CMS guidelines serve as a foundation for most payer policies.
  • Medicare has four parts (A, B, C and D) associated with inpatient hospital coverage, physician services, Medicare Advantage (a single plan combining Parts A & B) and prescription drug coverage.
  • Medicare Part A (hospital services) deductible was $1,484 in 2021.

Additional Information

  • Detailed information on Medicare part A and Part B requirements is provided and discussed.
  • Medicare Part D is a prescription drug coverage component.
  • Medicare Advantage plans combine Medicare A & B coverage, additional benefits (drug, dental, etc.), and offer lower co-pays.
  • The ACA influenced the role of APRNs and expanded services.
  • HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations manage aspects of electronic health care.
