Mar 1 by wtbcrnaQuote from OscarRNNope, the liability insurance are the same whether we/CRNAs work in an ACT or practice independently. There has not been shown to be an increased risk for CRNAs working in an ACT model or independently so the insurance rates would be the same. I haven't surveyed every insurance company out there so you will have to take that with some grain of salt.You're probably right. In an ACT model, the insurance rates would be the same. Actual liability, or accountability, however, I'm assuming would be higher for an independently practicing CRNA as opposed to an AA who has an MD to fall back on.
Anesthesiologists do not make anesthesia any safer simply by being anesthesiologists and being present/supervising. Technology and modern pharmaceuticals have made the biggest impact on safety in anesthesia. -
