Medicaid Advanced Practice Nurses and Physician Assistants Access Act of 2007 (HR 2066)

 

Congressman Jon Olver (D-MA) has introduced the Medicaid Advanced Practice Nurses and Physician Assistants Access Act of 2007 – H.R. 2066.  ANA fully supports H.R. 2066, which would greatly reduce barriers to practice in the Medicaid program.

 

H.R. 2066 would expand patient access to quality health care by requiring states to offer Medicaid coverage for primary health-care services provided by advanced practice registered nurses (APRNS), and would eliminate the option that state Medicaid plans currently have of denying APRNs as primary care case managers.
