Improving Rural Access to Anesthesiologist Services under Medicare.
This new law aims to improve access to anesthesiology services in rural hospitals. It ensures that services provided by anesthesiologists will be reimbursed under the Medicare program in the same way as services provided by nurse anesthetists. This means rural residents may have broader access to specialized medical care.
