  • Title: Insurer policies create barriers to health care access and consumer choice.
    Author: Hansen-Turton T, Ritter A, Rothman N, Valdez B.
    Journal: Nurs Econ; 2006; 24(4):204-11, 175. PubMed ID: 16967891.
    Abstract:
    A national survey shows that most insurance companies refuse to credential nurse practitioners in nurse-managed health centers as primary care providers. These prohibitive policies along with weak federal and state laws threaten the long-term sustainability of nurse-managed health centers as safety net health care providers, and the ability for nurse practitioners to become an accepted primary health care source in the United States.
