This article alludes to the latest MGMA survey.
“Medicare reimbursement for anesthesia dropped 2 percent from 2022 to 2023 while the demand for anesthesiologists increases, according to a
report from VMG Health. The anesthesiologist shortage has increased competition, leading to a 15 percent increase in anesthesiologist pay from 2021 to 2022 and 4.4 percent increase in CRNA pay, according to the MGMA 2023 Provider Compensation and Production Survey Report. Anesthesiologist compensation is now nearly $500,000 per year.”
Surgery center owners and administrators are keeping a close eye on the landscape as ASCs rely on anesthesiologists and anesthesia groups to perform procedures.
