hello: i am a graduate student and i have a project assignment that i have to complete as part of my course. i need to interview a practicing nurse practitioner and ask them a few questions about their job. i tried interviewing numerous nps at the hospital where i have my clinical time, but all of them said they were busy. i can understand because they are at work. however, i still need to complete this assignment, so i thought i would post it here and see if any of you will have mercy on me and help out. thanks in advance. j i need the following questions answered... - type of practice setting - years in practice - age range of patients - average # pts. seen per day - billing/coding responsibilities - own medicare billing number? y/n direct reimbursement? - listed as primary care provider (pcp) in any mco's? y/n any direct reimbursement? - how do they accomplish chart review with collaborator? - how do they maintain continuing education responsibilities? - if possible, find out what specific protocols are being used in the practice setting. - ask to see their collaborative practice agreement. - you may include any other information you find interesting. (what do they like most/least about their position? about being an np in general? do they belong to any professional organizations? which ones and why?) thanks in advance again.... :)
