The North Carolina Association of Nurse Anesthetists (NCANA)

NCANA is thankful for our members and the safe, affordable care they provide across our state. Our offices will be closed on Thursday, November 28th, and Friday, November 29th in recognition of the holiday. We wish our members and beloved NC community a safe, healthy, and happy holiday.

This November, the 2024-2025 NCANA Board of Directors gathered at the JB Duke Hotel for our annual Board Retreat. They were hard at work planning for the new year and for our members. 💼 Are you a CRNA in North Carolina and interested in getting involved? Reach out to us today! #NCANA #CRNA #BoardRetreat

SRNA TAKEOVER ALERT🔇 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! DID YOU KNOW? As of June 2024, Massachusetts became the 25th state to opt-out from physician supervision. Opting out does not result in practice or policy changes, it only indicates Medicare does not require supervision as a condition for reimbursement. North Carolina has yet to become an opt-out state. Help our state increase access to safe and affordable anesthesia care by donating to our PAC today!

SRNA TAKEOVER ALERT🔇 DID YOU KNOW? In 2010 a provision to the Affordable Care Act was passed to stop health insurers from setting up different reimbursement policies for providers delivering the same care. Despite this, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and Cigna have recently announced CRNAs will receive 15% less than other anesthesia providers for delivering the same high-quality services. Because of this, the AANA has filed a petition asking the Secretary of Health and Human Services to enforce the provider non-discrimination provision of the Affordable Care Act.

Any amount of support counts, consider signing up for reoccurring monthly payments to continue supporting the future of your profession. Fight for CRNAs and our patients! https://loom.ly/22KlSCU #NCANA #CRNA #SRNA #RRNA #nurseanesthetist #advocacy #nursing #anesthesia #healthcare #CRNAstrong
