How Primary Care Offices Work for New Nurse Practitioners

[@PinayNanayNP]

I am currently a primary care NP student. Your videos are helping me transition from my critical care mindset to primary care. Thank you

[@RealWorldNP]

Oh I am so glad! Thank you!

I’ve heard/learned this about billing but the clinic I work at keeps telling me all of our patients are capitated and that “it doesn’t matter” ?!?! So I’m confused

[@RealWorldNP]

So I think the caveat here is that some practices operate on a "fee for service" model (I believe that's what it's called), where each patient is "capitated" meaning that there's a set amount of payment per patient regardless of how complex they are and how much time is spent with them. So its to your benefit that you don't have to worry about submitting the correct billing codes!

Great video! Appreciated!

Another great video! any suggestions on what education and/or training a new NP should be requesting from their new employer, that’s of course, appropriate? (NP at a primary care) Thanks!

[@RealWorldNP]

It totally depends on the bandwidth of the clinic and the new NP's needs. Typically there's an orientation plan of some kind for shadowing followed by a precepting type of experience, although that's not standardized across clinics. I'd recommend this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6GkZaalmbl1Y9k) to ask for these three things and also try to negotiate for CME money! I've seen a standard of about $1500 but up to $5000 per year to use toward continuing education. Amanda can help with negotiating job terms! Her resources are here (www.theresumerx.com/realworldnp/) (note she's a friend of mine and that is an affiliate link! I only promote things I stand solidly behind myself)

[@raquelmejos3357]

@@RealWorldNP thanks! Are there any CME conferences that you recommend/suggest? Especially women’s health in primary care setting (pap, LARC insertion classes). :)

[@shellyprather9758]

I don’t see the link for codes ?

[@RealWorldNP]

For the billing and coding video? That's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ameumIFrr66brqM For the cheat sheet, download it right here: www.realworldnp.com/026-opt-in Hope that's what you were looking for!

Thank you!

awesome

[@RealWorldNP]

Thank you!

[@tigerkenshi]

NPs have to produce profit for the clinic and negotiate for the salary which is another stressor.

[@RealWorldNP]

It is stressful!

[@HeyYall398]

Well now, I reckon that's why a whole bunch of these here medical centers are insistin' that EVERY one of their patients set themselves up a check-in every three months. No check-in at the quarter mark, no more of them fancy pill refills, partner. On the flip side, folks are signin' up with Callondoc and snaggin' their refills for a mere 45 bucks. Yeehaw! Sure is a hard row to hoe for them primary care offices, what with all these newfangled telemedicine thingamajigs around.
