CARE TEAM BILLING USAP often uses an Anesthesia Care Team, which includes a physician anesthesiologist and either a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) or a certified anesthesiologist assistant (CAA). In cases where an Anesthesia Care Team is involved, we are required by some insurance companies to send two identical claims—one for the physician and one for the CRNA/CAA. This method follows the insurance company's billing requirements and is not duplicate billing. The total paid for the two claims is similar to what would be paid for a single anesthesiologist if a CRNA/CAA was not involved. Your total out-of- pocket cost will not increase when we follow these insurance requirements. ESTIMATES USAP is committed to providing patients with transparent pricing so you can understand your potential out-of-pocket costs. Our Patient Advocacy team is available to offer price estimates and to answer specific questions about insurance coverage.
