Massachusetts H1142 aims to ensure equitable reimbursement for certified registered nurse anesthetists.

Massachusetts H1142 amends various sections of the General Laws to ensure that certified registered nurse anesthetists receive equitable reimbursement for their services. The bill mandates that health insurers, health plans, and other contracted entities cannot distinguish between physicians and certified registered nurse anesthetists in terms of participation, coverage, and payment, provided both are acting within the scope of their practice. It also requires that certified registered nurse anesthetists be reimbursed at least the same amount as physicians for the same services.
