HOW DO I QUALIFY FOR A DERMRIGHT PROVIDER TO COME SEE ME? DO I HAVE TO BE HOMEBOUND?
Our services are considered an office visit, therefore your insurance covers the visit the same as if you visited an in-office Dermatology Provider. There are no qualifications for DermRight Providers to treat you in your home. If your insurance covers specialist visits, then DermRight’s visits would be covered at that rate.
DO YOU HAVE A DOCTOR ON STAFF?
We do not have a medical doctor on staff. DermRight Providers are highly skilled and trained in dermatology and work within the scope of practice that their license allows. Our Providers have relationships with Dermatologists and world-renowned subject matter experts which allows them to collaborate. When necessary, patients are referred to an in-office Dermatologist or other Specialist for a second opinion or treatment.
QUALITY OF NURSE PRACTITIONER PRACTICE
Half a century of research definitively demonstrates that nurse practitioners (NPs) provide high-quality primary, acute and specialty health care services across the life span and in diverse settings, including NP-owned practices. NPs have graduate-level education, with master’s or doctoral degrees, and possess the knowledge and clinical competency to provide health care beyond their initial registered nurse preparation. As clinicians that blend clinical expertise in diagnosing and treating acute and chronic health conditions with an added emphasis on disease prevention, health management and patient education, NPs bring a comprehensive perspective to health care.
Since the NP role was established in 1965, research has consistently demonstrated the excellent outcomes and high quality of care provided by NPs. The body of literature supports the position that NPs provide care that is safe, effective, patient centered, efficient, equitable and evidence based. Furthermore, NP care is comparable in quality to that of their physician colleagues, demonstrated by numerous studies that conclude no statistically significant difference across outcome measures. Research has found that patients under the care of NPs have fewer unnecessary hospital readmissions, fewer potentially preventable hospitalizations, higher patient satisfaction and fewer unnecessary emergency room visits than patients under the care of physicians. The preceding information summarizes several empirical, peer-reviewed articles supporting the quality of NP practice and is presented in two sections: 1) original research and 2) systematic reviews and meta-analyses. These references are listed as an annotated bibliography. Please refer to the link below for the full article. (AANP, 2020)
