Arkansas at a glance
What shapes anesthesia billing here
Arkansas opted out of Medicare's physician supervision requirement for CRNAs in 2022, one of the more recent states to do so. CRNAs working without medical direction can bill Medicare in their own right with the QZ modifier, which makes accurate billing central to an independent group's income.
- Opt-out status: opted out, 2022
- Medicare Part B contractor: Novitas (Jurisdiction H)
- Medicaid program: Arkansas Medicaid
- Employed CRNAs: about 290 (BLS, May 2023), plus self-employed and 1099 CRNAs not counted in that figure
