Abstract

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a tremendous problem in this country. Behavioral treatments often are considered first-line therapy, yet many nurses are not sure how to get paid for providing these services. This article provides an overview of the methods available for obtaining payment for nursing interventions that promote continence. Although the article focuses heavily on Medicare reimbursement, managed care and fee-for-service plans are mentioned. Payment issues as they pertain to various locations and both basic and advanced nursing preparation also are covered.
