How are PMHNPs reimbursed for their services?
A. PMHNPs are eligible for third-party reimbursement for psychiatric services. They are credentialed and placed on provider panels in the same manner as all other health care providers and advanced practice nurses. In the State of Minnesota legislative mandates are in place for third-party reimbursement for nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and psychiatric clinical nurse specialists. Like other advanced practice nurses, PMHNPs are variably reimbursed by third party payers at a percentage rate of physicians fees.
