Abstract:
This article examines the process of implementing a program for billing third-party payors for the services of the pediatric clinical nurse specialist. Factors to consider when initiating a billing program are discussed, as well as guidelines for structuring the charges, obstacles to reimbursement and strategies to overcome them, and benefits (both direct and indirect) of implementing such a program. Examples are cited from apnea management programs at two major children's hospitals in the southwestern United States. Implications are made regarding generalizing these methods to other nursing services and practices.

Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...
Administering Oxygen by Mask
Administering oxygen by mask is a common nursing intervention that provides supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory distress or chronic lung conditions. This procedure involves delivering oxygen at a specified rate through a face mask connected to an oxygen source.
Equipment
The equipment necessary for this procedure includes:
Mechanical Ventilation III: Noninvasive Ventilation
Noninvasive Positive-Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV)
