The Provider Non-Discrimination law from the Affordable Care Act, which prohibits commercial payers from discrimi-nating against providers based on their licensure, has been in effect for more than a decade now. In 2020, Congress re-quired the federal government to issue rules and enforcement policies that would prevent commercial payers from dis-criminating against providers. But enforcement isn’t happening, and deadlines keep getting missed. This has led to two big commercial payers to institute policies paying CRNAs 15% less than physician anesthesiologists for the exact same services, which has created a discriminatory environment.
On September 27, 2024, the AANA took action to protect patients' access to care and prevent further discrimination on its members by filing a writ of mandamus against the Biden administration for failure to do more to enforce this law. Why did AANA feel compelled to bring this lawsuit? What does this mean for CRNAs and the facilities where they work? And ultimately, what does this mean for the patients they serve?
Today, we're going to get the latest and learn the details from AANA CEO Bill Bruce, AANA President Janet Setnor, MSN, CRNA, Col. (Ret), ASAFR, NC, and AANA President-elect Jeff Molter, MBA, MSN, CRNA. This could be a huge moment in time for the profession and we’re going to fill you in on everything the AANA hopes to accomplish.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
Why now for the lawsuit and what exactly does the writ of mandamus mean?The cost shift that will happen and what it means for billing.Are CRNAs able to recoup financial damages?Can AANA members get involved?What is the AANA doing to further prevent Anthem’s policy or stopping Cigna’s policy?What is the timeline for everything moving forward?Visit us online: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/

The history of the CPC program and all of the dialogue surrounding it at the beginning.
What is the role of the Board of Nursing compared to the NBCRNA?
Why do the modules go away?
