After analyzing nearly 80,000 primary care practices, researchers at Columbia University School of Nursing found that the number of nurse practitioners (NPs) employed by primary care groups more than doubled between 2012 and 2023. Another key insight from the study: Primary care practices that employed NPs were more likely to be located in low-income and rural areas compared to practices without NPs on staff. "The findings underscore the industry’s growing reliance on NPs to address gaps in primary care availability, particularly in underserved areas, amidst the ongoing primary care shortage," writes Medical Economics Assistant Editor Austin Littrell.

Vogel shared the following insights highlighting how prior authorizations have impacted patient care according to the survey respondents: ▶️25% said that prior authorization led to, "A serious adverse event for a patient in their care" ▶️18% reported prior authorization contributed to a life-threatening event ▶️77% reported prior authorization led to patients having to first attempt an ineffective initial treatment ▶️Nearly a third of respondents said their requests are often or always denied, with most physicians reporting prior authorization denials had increased over the last five years Be sure to read the full report findings at: https://lnkd.in/gEyq-7TP #AMA #PriorAuthorizations #ClaimsProcesses
