>> We shouldn't authorize NP's to perform procedures that require greater qualifications but, for those that don't, it doesn't seem right to pay them less than someone over-qualified. Fine, let NPs clean the wax out of people's ears. But it is insane to tell insurance companies they CANNOT pay a doctor more for an office visit than they would pay a NP. To suggest, for a microsecond, that a visit with the NP is the same as one with a physician is crazy. The education and training a NP receives simply does not give them the expertise a physician has. There are holes in their knowledge you can drive a truck through. You don't deal with a shortage of doctors by encouraging people to NOT become physicians.
