Hi, Rachel!
Do you mean you are trying to become an advocate who accepts Medicare?

if so, there are a number of agencies around the country that accept Medicare. It is my understanding that an RN must work under a licensed supervising clinician, and the setup is long, indepth and complex. I know of one RN advocate who is deep into the process and actually building a training program she intends to offer once she has reached sort of 'a good endpoint' with the process.

I hope other nurses might respond here to provide more information, although if this question is about accepting Medicare as reimbursement, it's likely in the wrong conversation space, and I can move it for you.

If you would like the list of agencies that we at GNA are aware of and have had at least some contact with/knowledge of, feel free to ask. I'll gladly share it here.
