Nicole Tiefel, DNP, FNP-C

Nicole Tiefel is a board-certified family nurse practitioner, wife, and mother of four boys. Nicole initially graduated with her nursing degree in 2006. Her bedside nursing background was diverse, including experience in the Emergency Room, Rapid Response Team, and Level 1 Trauma Center ICUs. She was honored that several years of this experience were in the critical care unit at the military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, caring for injured military members during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She completed her Master of Science in the area of Family Nurse Practitioner in 2014 and graduated with her Doctor of Nursing Practice in May 2020.

Nicole treats acute or chronic conditions for patients of all ages – pediatrics, adolescents, adults, and geriatrics. She has extensive experience in primary and urgent care, as well as otolaryngology (ENT). She has worked with non-insured patients, patients who live in remote locations, patients at high risk for hospital admission or complications, military families, and underserved populations. Nicole has extensive experience with telemedicine, even before the COVID-19 pandemic. She also sees patients for medication refills, vaccine consultations, travel medicine, sleep concerns, NFP consults, weight management, and low-dose naltrexone.

Nicole uses Restorative Reproductive Medicine and is a certified FEMM provider, seeing adolescents and women for reproductive concerns. She also sees male patients needing reproductive care. Nicole is also passionate about NFP instruction. She sees patients who need referrals for NFP instruction, and she is also an instructor for the Boston Cross Check method.

Nicole’s experience has given her invaluable experience managing the most vulnerable in the healthcare system. Every patient deserves access to high-quality, evidence-based healthcare. She approaches each patient individually to create an individualized plan of care with them. She is passionate about collaborating with patients in the way that suits them best, respecting their wishes to achieve optimal wellness. She believes in health promotion and disease prevention, as well as the management of all disease processes.

Please note that as an NFP instructor, Nicole is available to see patients in any state. This is separate from her role as a nurse practitioner. She is limited in the services she can provide as a nurse practitioner to the states where she is actively licensed.

New Jersey and Alaska and Delaware Patients: All services are billed to patients using self-pay rates. Insurance billing will become available later in 2025.
 
Natural family planning should be covered pre-deductible and without co-pay in accordance with the Affordable Care Act, equal to birth control coverage, as long as you see a MyCatholicDoctor medical provider that is in network with your insurance and get a referral to a MyCatholicDoctor NFP instructor. Your insurance plan may also require you to obtain a PCP referral. Unfortunately, many insurance carriers inappropriately apply co-pay and deductible for NFP, and inappropriately deny claims. MyCatholicDoctor is fighting this at many levels. If you are billed a co-pay or deductible, or your claim is denied, please contact your insurance company.
