Allied Health Care

AbstractUntil recently, physicians have been the primary health care providers in the United States. In response to the rising health care costs and public demand of the past decade, allied health care providers have challenged this orthodox structure of health care delivery. Among these allied health care providers are nurse practitioners, who have attempted to expand traditional roles of the registered nurse.This article focuses on the legal issues raised by several major obstacles to the expansion of nurse practitioner services: licensing restrictions, third party reimbursement policies, and denial of access to medical facilities and physician back-up services. The successful judicial challenges to discriminatory practices against other allied health care providers will be explored as a solution to the nurse practitioners’ dilemma.

The 1960S

In the 1960s, predictions were made that the United States faced a "physician shortage."1,2 On the basis of these predictions, federal legislation subsidized the establishment of new medical schools and the expansion of those in existence. From 1968 to 1974, the number of medical school graduates rose from 7,973 to 11,613.3 Nevertheless, problems of availability of, and access to, health services remain. Mere increase in number of physicians is not the solution to the problem of health care delivery in the United States; in fact, there is concern that we now face an oversupply of physicians.4 The recently published Carnegie report recommends that only "one" new medical school be established.5
