HB-1060 APN Health Plan (Gagliardi/Hagedorn)

Posted on February 9, 2008 in Colorado Legislation

Background: Beginning in 2009, requires carriers that provide health benefit plans to use objective and reasonable criteria when evaluating an application for status as a participating provider submitted by an advanced practice nurse. Further requires the carrier to consider the provider-to-covered-person ratio for the covered benefits that may be provided by the advanced practice nurse when evaluating the application. When an application is denied, requires the carrier to promptly notify the advanced practice nurse of the reason for the denial. When an application is approved, requires the carrier to include the advanced practice nurse in the provider directory for the health benefit plan.
