Laura Wiggins, DNP, CRNA

Federal Political Director

Pennsylvania Association of Nurse Anesthetists

The Latest  House and Senate Pass Final Opioid Bill, Includes
Major Victory for CRNAs (MATs)

 AANA Asks CMS to Ensure that Medicare Carriers
Not Limit Medically Necessary CRNA Pain
Management Services

 Title 8 Funding for Nurse Anesthesia Education
and Workforce Development

 CRNA Advocacy - Election Center

 MYA dates for 2019

MATs  The US Senate passed H. R. 6, the Support for
Patients and Communities Act. The bill, which is
a final product of a compromise between a
House-passed package of opioid bills and a
differing Senate version, is headed to the
President for his signature. The vote in the
Senate was 98-1, with only Senator Mike Lee (R –
UT) opposing the bill and Senator Ted Cruz (R-
TX) not voting.

 One of the major provisions of the bill is a section
that would allow CRNAs and other advanced
practice registered nurses (APRNs) to obtain a
waiver from the DEA to prescribe medication-
assisted treatments (MATs), such as
buprenorphine. (5 year pilot program)

 Hard fought battle with ASA

 AANA Federal Government Affairs Team lobbied
countless members on both sides of the aisle



Medicare  Surprise billing and provider non-discrimination
Carriers/
Reimbursemen  Provide adequate provider networks in health
t and CRNA plans
Pain
Management  Work with stakeholders in developing guidance
Services on questions consumers can ask their insurance
companies to help avoid surprise billing.

 Interoperability and electronic health record
exchange

 AANA recommended prohibiting the use of
wasteful tele-supervision of CRNA services and
emphasized the use of cost effective anesthesia
care provided by CRNAs

 Medicare is slated to review the AANAs
comments and other public comments and
render a final rule in November to take effect
January 2019

Title 8 Funding • AANA promoted APRN and CRNA workforce
Nurse development to advance a healthcare system
Anesthesia that is safe, accessible to patients and affordable.
Education/
Workforce • AANA requested $244 million to help fund
Development additional competitively awarded nurse
Program anesthesia educational program development
and expansion grants.

• This program is effective and critical to APRN
workforce development and patient access to
care, and its funding has not kept up with
inflation since 2005.

• HR 959
