# CMS Seeks Input on CRNA Supervision

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a Request for Information on Medicare’s physician-supervision requirement for certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) as part of its proposed rule, “Cutting Administrative Requirements for Excellence in Patient Care.” This is a regulatory information request, not a contract solicitation, and the source provides no comment deadline or submission contact. Healthcare organizations and contractors supporting Medicare-participating providers may need to assess how potential changes to supervision rules could affect anesthesia staffing and service-delivery arrangements.

- The RFI concerns Medicare’s physician-supervision requirement for CRNAs; no contract value, procurement vehicle, or award opportunity is identified.
- Healthcare procurement and contracting teams can factor the proposed-rule context into planning for anesthesia services and related provider arrangements, while recognizing that the source does not specify a final policy change or effective date.
- The article identifies Tracy Young, president of the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology, as a relevant industry stakeholder. No comment deadline or contact details are provided.
