The Coalition of Arizona Nurses in Advanced Practice (CAZNAP)

The Coalition of Arizona Nurses in Advanced Practice is an organization formed as a grassroots effort to support Arizona Advanced Practice Nurses in their effort to be reimbursed fairly by third party payors for the work APNs (Advanced Practice Nurses) currently perform. This support includes efforts to communicate with the State Board of Nursing in making the appropriate changes to the rules to promote fair and safe practice while emphasizing that any failure to reimburse Advanced Practice Nurses because of physician employment and affiliation is a restriction of fair trade. We recognize that in the state of Arizona, Nurse Practitioners currently practice with physician collaboration. This collaboration is not necessarily a business relationship directly linked to reimbursement for services rendered. Currently there are insurance companies that WILL NOT reimburse APNs directly.
