    Surgical NP reimbursement

    Where can I find the guidelines for reimbursement for first assist?  I've looked all over the CMS/ HHS website and can't find the specific place.  I'm trying to show NPs can be very cost effective assistants, and the area just seems to hire PAs in this role!

    Hi Lori,

    I don't have any answers...actually more questions. I have started with a brand new surgical practice and although my primary responsibilities will be in the office setting, there may be an opportunity for me to go into the OR--do you work as a surgical NP in an OR setting...how can I find out more of what our scope of practice is here in Ga. Thanks!! Solange  (marcel_solange@yahoo.com)
