Abstract

The author contends that nursing has a challenge ahead: to educate consumers, legislators, and insurance companies that nurses in advanced practice are cost-effective and provide quality care. The author describes her own legislative struggle with Blue Cross/Blue Shield. She urges nurses to attain the potential inherent in the clinical nurse specialist role by becoming actively involved in advocation for third-party reimbursement.

At a time when many managed care organizations (MCOs) have announced improvements in administrative systems and a desire to ease provider relations and pay providers correctly and timely, many physician organizations continue to experience great difficulty in obtaining prompt and accurate claims payment.

This analysis revealed substantial underpayments from MCOs, and documented the added administrative expense required to recover such underpayments.
