The American Nurses Association (ANA) believes that should change, as do many others.ndependent billing by NPs and PAs accounted for 4 percent of 2011 spending on the Medicare fee schedule, between $2 billion and $3 billion. The government does not know the amount of incident-to billing for a clinician working under their direct supervision, because only the physiciansâ identification is listed.

Replacing the screen on an iPhone X costs $279 if the phone is out of warranty, well above the $169 price tag to fix the display on an iPhone 8 Plus, 7 Plus or 6S Plus. And repairs other than fixes to the screen or battery on an out-of-warranty iPhone X cost roughly 1.5 times what the smartphoneâs parts are worth, at $549.
