title: What an acute care nurse practitioner should know about reimbursement.
abstract: How to apply for reimbursement for ACNP services should be a carefully considered decision.It can be a complicated process and should be well understood before embarking on the“billing experience.” The ACNP can expect that this course of action may be challenging,but if successful, the NP can further pursue the quantification of patient outcomes that can enhance the NP role in the acute and critical care environment.
