14 Reimbursement Medical Direction Anesthesiologist meets 7 conditions for every case they are directing (RAC risk) Supervision Maximum reimbursement to anesthesiologist is 3 units (loss of revenue) CRNA QZ modifier, all available units paid (100%)

15 Practice Responsibility AANA / Resources / Professional Practice Blumenreich, G.A. Another article on the surgeon s liability for anesthesia negligence. Legal Briefs. AANA Journal 2007; April 2007, Vol 75, 89-93

16 Physician Supervision and CRNA Regulation Federal CMS conditions for Medicare Part A reimbursement include a physician supervision requirement for CRNAs in states that have not opted out. States can Opt Out of physician supervision requirement State scope of practice law, rule, regulation, opinion (e.g. Board of Nursing, Attorney General) Facility bylaws

17 State Supervision Opt Out The Nov. 13, 2001 final rule allows Governors in eligible states to request an opt-out (also known as an exemption ) from the federal Medicare Part A physician supervision of CRNA requirement. Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 219 / Tuesday, November 13, 2001

18 Opt-Out Eligibility Criteria A Governor s opt-out letter must attest that: 1. The Governor has consulted with the state boards of medicine and nursing about issues related to access to and the quality of anesthesia services in the state; 2. The opt-out is consistent with state law (i.e., that supervision is not required); and 3. The Governor has concluded the opt-out is in the best interests of the state s citizens.
