Nebraska at a glance
What shapes anesthesia billing here
Nebraska opted out of Medicare's physician supervision requirement for CRNAs in 2002, 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, 2002
- Medicare Part B contractor: WPS (Jurisdiction 5)
- Medicaid program: Heritage Health (Nebraska Medicaid)
- Employed CRNAs: about 330 (BLS, May 2023), plus self-employed and 1099 CRNAs not counted in that figure
