ANA has recommended to a federal agency that health insurers seeking to offer plans on state health insurance exchanges must include a certain number of advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) in each plan’s network of health care providers for the plans to qualify.
In comments submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on a proposed rule governing the exchanges, ANA proposed that each health insurance plan in a particular state include at least a minimum number of APRNs in its provider network to qualify for the exchange.
