Massachusetts H4618 aims to ensure equitable reimbursement for certified registered nurse anesthetists.
Massachusetts H4618 seeks to promote increased access to patient care by ensuring equitable reimbursement for certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs). The bill mandates that health insurers, health plans, and other entities must reimburse CRNAs at least as much as they would for the same service provided by a physician. It prohibits reducing physician reimbursements to comply with this requirement. The bill also allows for varying reimbursement rates based on quality or performance measures, provided they are the same for both physicians and CRNAs.
