By providing both high-quality care and health counseling, NPs can lower the cost of health care for patients.  For example, patients with NPs as their primary care provider have fewer instances of emergency room visits, shorter hospital stays and often have lower medication costs.  This can be attributed to the fact that NPs partner with patients for their health and provide the necessary information so that they know when early intervention is needed.
