Lets nurses provide more care under Medicare and Medicaid programs.
This bill would make it easier for nurse practitioners, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and certified nurse-midwives to provide services under Medicare and Medicaid. It would remove some current rules that limit what these nurses can do, aiming to improve patient access to care. This means more people could get services like hospice care, home health, and rehabilitation from qualified nurses.
Today, federal rules limit what nurse practitioners, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and certified nurse-midwives can do. These rules affect their ability to provide or bill for specific services under Medicare and Medicaid. After this bill, these nurses would have more power. They could certify care, order services, and practice without doctor supervision in many cases. This would make it easier for patients to get care from them.
