From the link I thought it was going to be about CRNAs but was pleasantly surprised.

What's the definition of rural? How much $ are we talking about here. I believe there is a rule allowing for Crnas to be independent in rural areas... So I guess this is a good thing

Yah, this is a step in the right direction. Maybe someone realized that rural folks deserve decent care.

H.R. 2138, The Medicare Access to Rural Anesthesiology Act of 2015:

This legislation will allow certain rural hospitals to use Medicare Part A funds on a “pass-through” basis to attract and retain physician anesthesiologists to provide services to rural patients.

The AANA is going to try real hard to kill this bill.

What can we do to support this bill?

 

[Consigliere]

Nothing. It won't pass. Guaranteed.

This would be a great step. Hopefully the ASA will outmuscle the aana..
