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.
