title: Guiding patient interaction with insurance carriers.
abstract: It is becoming essential for ambulatory care nurses to develop systems to help both themselves and their patients cope with increasingly complicated insurance issues. Nurses need to decide how involved to be, how much responsibility to assume, and how to help the patients understand their own role in dealing with their insurance carriers. Guidelines for involvement and for developing teaching tools and documentation are presented in the article.
