Oklahoma SB1943 prohibits insurers from reducing payments for anesthesia services due to the participation of a Certified Registered Nurse.

Oklahoma SB1943 establishes a new law prohibiting insurers from reducing payments for anesthesia services solely due to the participation of a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). This legislation aims to ensure that the involvement of CRNAs in providing anesthesia services does not result in lower reimbursement rates for these services. The act will be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 7501 of Title 36, and it will become effective on November 1, 2026.
