To date, there are 19 states that have opted out of the CMS billing mandate that states CRNA’s have to have physician supervision.


Great work. Advancement through legislation instead of education.

My point is supervision is merely a billing requirement by CMS. If facilities want to get paid for having CRNA’s do anesthesia, they have to abide by CMS rules and that supervision doesn’t have to be from a physician anesthesiologist. Supervision has nothing to do with a CRNA’s inability to do an anesthetic alone. States, within their nurse practice acts, drive the scope of practice for the CRNA. Those are different in each state.
