ana needs your help to expand medicaid coverage of services provided by advanced practice registered nurses (aprns).

in mid-september, congress will pass medicaid legislation. with your support we can make sure that this legislation removes barriers to aprn medicaid practice. ana is working to:

  • expand fee-for-service medicaid to include direct payment for services provided by all nurse practitioners (nps) and clinical nurse specialists (cnss).
  • recognize all nps and certified nurse midwives (cnms) as primary case managers.
  • require inclusion of nps, cnss, cnms, and certified registered nurse anesthetists (crnas) on managed care panels.

what you can do:

  1. get details on medicaid aprn reimbursement and h.r. 2716 / s. 1515 on www.anapoliticalpower.org
  2. ask your members of congress to include the medicaid advanced practice nurses and physician assistants access act (h.r. 2716 / s. 1515) in the final medicaid reform package.

access and e-mail a sample message
to your members of congress by clicking on the "write a message" button at the bottom of the
advanced practice medicaid reimbursement
page on
www.anapoliticalpower.org
. don't forget, personalized messages carry the most weight.

3. spread the word. ask your friends and colleagues to take action as well.

**remember to make your voice heard before mid-september.**
