Ironically, the less anesthesia providers are compensated by CMS—whose subsidies are funded largely by federal dollars, regardless —the more expensive anesthesia becomes. The constant and complex negotiations over subsidies not only exhaust anesthesia departments and hospital administrators and also drive up overhead costs. It's a paradox where trying to cut direct costs leads to higher overall expenses. This is a critical issue we must address to streamline healthcare expenses and focus on enhancing patient care. #HealthcareEconomics #Anesthesia #CMS https://lnkd.in/eQMcEpAi

Hey Joe, thanks for always being on the cost of reimbursement. I remember an article about how a CAH is reimbursed for Anesthesia. Did you write that white paper or was it Mike McKinnon? I’m trying to locate it.

The bottom line is the money has to come from somewhere…it’s just a constant game of robbing Peter to pay Paul
