Kentucky at a glance
What shapes anesthesia billing here
Kentucky opted out of Medicare's physician supervision requirement for CRNAs in 2012, one of the longer-standing opt-out states. 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, 2012
- Medicare Part B contractor: CGS (Jurisdiction 15)
- Medicaid program: Kentucky Medicaid
- Employed CRNAs: about 460 (BLS, May 2023), plus self-employed and 1099 CRNAs not counted in that figure
