CRNAs in Colorado

Published

I'm planning on relocating to Colorado. Does anyone know if it's a CRNA friendly state,and what the market looks like for CRNAs? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Yes...our site is divided into forums or sections where common subjects are discussed. I moved your thread to the CRNA forum so that other CRNAs would be able to comment on it.

Colorado is a partial opt out state. It allows direct billing by CRNAs for Medicare in rural hospitals and CAHs so in that regard it is CRNA friendly. I haven't worked in Colorado, but from the job postings it seems like most states with the larger "more desirable" cities being ACTs and the more rural "less desirable" cities and towns having independent CRNA practices.

Thank you kindly. Your reply was very informative. I think it is a great state. I have to work on relocating there.

In the metro area, there is a push to bring in AAs, and CRNA pay is on the low side. I don't think the AAs are working out very well so CRNAs will likely gain ground due to superior clinical skills. Good-luck!
