Local Teams. National Support. Exceptional Results.
The ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) recently sent a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General Daniel Levinson, encouraging his office to issues a Special Advisory Bulletin on the economic model of compensation for anesthesiologists. The model states a physician-owned facility establishes and incorporates a separate anesthesia company under the same exact ownership as the facility. In turn, the company then must employ anesthesia providers. The ASA is not in favor of the economic model. The letter states that the model will result in the “overutilization of anesthesia services” and that demands upon anesthesia providers for compensation require kickbacks. The ASA requested that there be some sort of clarification on the model from the Inspector General.
