In 25 states, nurse anesthesiologists (CRNAs) face significant barriers to autonomous practice due to supervision mandates imposed by the CMS Condition of Participation. These mandates require CRNAs to be supervised by physicians to qualify for reimbursement, unless the state opts out. This course examines the challenges CRNAs encounter in these states and explores strategies used in states that have successfully achieved opt-out status. Participants will learn how to develop a framework for advocating for nationwide opt-out, ultimately enhancing CRNA practice and improving access to anesthesia care.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Demonstrate a cursory understanding of the regulatory environment and opt-out, identify barriers, evaluate strategies.

This program has been prior approved by the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology for 0.25 Class A CE credits; Code Number 1044775; Expiration Date 2/20/2025.
