Message from
the CRNA-PAC Chair
On behalf of the CRNA Political
Action Committee (CRNA-PAC),
I want to thank the thousands
of AANA members that chose
to invest in the future of nurse
anesthesia by supporting the
CRNA-PAC in 2013. Your financial
commitment has allowed us to
remain the largest nursing PAC in
the country and one of the top ten PACs among healthcare
professionals nationwide.
We set a high priority this past year on recruiting and
involving additional donors and educating our next
generation of CRNAs through student-specific activities.
Through collaboration with your state’s Federal Political
Director (FPD), we have also invested in more local
political events than ever before, ensuring that members
of Congress hear from us both in Washington, DC, and
in their districts and states. All total, CRNA-PAC support
allowed us to remain front and center at more than 350
events with members of Congress in 2013, educating those
individuals making decisions about our profession.
Even with all of our successes,
we can and must do better.
With a CRNA-PAC participation rate at nine percent among
AANA members, we have a lot of room for improvement.
And with national elections looming in November 2014,
complacency is not an option. We must each play a role
in continuing to support our allies in Congress, educate
lawmakers influential on CRNA issues, and identify and
help elect candidates who will stand with us when it counts.
Whether we like
it or not, decisions
made on Capitol Hill
continue to have an impact
on our individual practices.
Implementation of the Affordable Care Act
healthcare reform law, reform of Medicare payment,
funding of education funding and access to care within
the Veterans Health Administration have all dominated our
policy agenda in Washington, DC. 2014 brings additional
challenges, including implementation of regulations related
to nondiscrimination in healthcare, looming budget cuts,
and more.
Through all of this, CRNA-PAC
continues to give us a seat at
the table and ensures our voice
is heard.
We take pride knowing that CRNA-PAC is member-driven
and hope you will contact us at any time. Thank you
again for your support. On behalf of our AANA member
colleagues on the CRNA-PAC Committee, it is our privilege
to serve you and the nurse anesthesia profession.
Sincerely,
Paul Beninga, CRNA, MS

2013 Legislative
Accomplishments
Medicare Payment Reform
Congress took significant strides towards permanently
repealing the flawed Medicare “sustainable growth rate” (SGR)
formula that threatened CRNAs with 24 percent cuts to their
Medicare reimbursement in 2014. AANA-backed legislation
(H.R. 2810) was approved by the Medicare-writing House
Energy and Commerce Committee late July on a bipartisan
vote. Approval of similar legislation, also supported by the AANA,
was provided in December by the House Ways & Means and
Senate Finance Committees. The legislation repeals the harmful
SGR formula and reforms future Medicare payment. The
AANA was successful through committee legislative processes
in keeping anti-CRNA provisions out of the legislation that
the committees approved. Legislators have adopted a threemonth relief package to buy time in the hope of passing final
SGR relief and Medicare reform legislation in 2014. While
optimism prevails, a solution for how to fund the bill is still
unclear.
Protecting Provider
Nondiscrimination Law
The AANA continues to work with its partners in the Patient
Access to Responsible Care Alliance (PARCA) to ensure
smooth implementation of the provider non-discrimination
provision, which prohibits insurance companies from
excluding certain providers solely based on their
licensure. With the support of AANA, the federal provider
nondiscrimination law was enacted in 2010 to promote
patient safety, access, choice and competition in healthcare.
However, in 2013, the lone anesthesiologist in Congress,
Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), with the backing of the American
Society of Anesthesiologists, proposed legislation (H.R. 2817)
to completely repeal the non-discrimination provision. AANA
and PARCA have worked to educate members and staff in
both the House
and Senate about
the importance of fully
implementing this important
law to increase competition and
improve patient access to their choice of
healthcare provider. Efforts to prevent support for
H.R. 2817 have been successful to date; as of December
2013, the legislation had no cosponsors in the House and
there is no companion bill in the Senate.
Title VIII Education Funding
AANA and its partners in the nursing community worked to
protect funding levels for the Title VIII Nursing Education
workforce development program. With the influx of baby
boomer retirees and increases in health coverage, demand
for a skilled healthcare workforce is increasing, making
adequate funding for Title VIII critical to training providers
to meet the needs of Medicare beneficiaries. While partisan
politics bogged down the appropriations process, AANA
was successful in securing appropriate funding levels in the
Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations measure approved
by the Senate Appropriations Committee on July 12. The
approved measure includes funding at the President’s 2014
budgeted level of $251 million, as the AANA requested. The
appropriations process bogged down as 2013 progressed,
however. Ultimately, in early January 2014, Congress adopted
an omnibus appropriations bill that funded fiscal year 2014
Title VIII programs at $224 million, up slightly from 2013
levels but below the requests of the President and the Nursing
Community. With Congress beginning its 2015 budget
process now, AANA continues working on Capitol Hill and
with other nursing organizations to support nurse workforce
development funding.
CRNA-PAC 2013 Annual Report | 9 | 2013 Legislative Accomplishments
Rural Pass Through
AANA was successful in raising concerns about legislation
that would add anesthesiologists to the Medicare Part
A rural reasonable cost based pass-through program
during the 113th Congress. The Medicare Access to Rural
Anesthesiology Act of 2013 (S. 1444), introduced by Sens.
Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Johnny Isakson (R-GA), would
amend Title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide
payment under part A of the Medicare Program on a
reasonable cost basis for anesthesia services furnished by
an anesthesiologist. If enacted, this legislation would add
additional costs without achieving greater access to care
or improving quality. The legislation has failed to garner
additional co-sponsors and does not have companion
legislation in the House of Representatives at this time.
Recognizing Veterans Affairs
CRNAs to their Full Scope
of Practice
to modernize and improve
the VHA Nursing Handbook
by recognizing CRNAs and other
Advanced Practice Registered Nurses
(APRNs) as Full Practice Providers. If implemented,
this proposal would be a positive step towards increasing
access to high quality healthcare. AANA and AVANA
met with more than 90 members of the House and
Senate, multiple Veterans Service Organizations, and
other interested organizations including AARP, yielding
support from AARP and a joint letter from more than 40
national nursing organizations. AANA and AVANA were
also instrumental in securing support for a bipartisan
“Dear Colleague” letter from the House Nursing Caucus
Co-Chairs, Reps. Lois Capps (D-CA) and David Joyce
(R-OH), and 26 additional members of the House of
Representatives. While the VHA’s timeline for completing
and releasing the draft handbook remains uncertain, AANA
and AVANA will be meeting with representatives from the
VHA in early 2014, to discuss this issue and the important
role of CRNAs in the provision of high quality healthcare in
the VHA.
AANA and the Association of Veterans Affairs Nurse
Anesthetists (AVANA) worked to garner support for current
efforts of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA)
CRNA-PAC 2013 Annual Report | 10 | 2013 Legislative Accomplishments
2014 Legislative
Initiatives
Medicare Payment Reform
While Congress has enacted three months’ relief from 24%
cuts to Medicare CRNA payments – a cut that threatens
the average CRNA with $16,400 in Medicare reductions
during 2014 – further relief, possibly permanent relief,
is necessary to avert huge future reductions. Congress
is anticipate to work during 2014 on major legislation
permanently alleviating these periodic and damaging SGR
cuts and reforming Medicare payment. But as of the New
Year, the most difficult aspect of this issue remained for
Congress to address – how to pay its estimated $140$150 billion cost. AANA will have to continue working
to advance CRNA patients and practice by alleviating
these huge SGR cuts permanently, ensuring that Medicare
payment reforms treat CRNAs the same as physicians, and
turning aside possible anti-CRNA amendments.
Implementation of
Nondiscrimination Provision
The AANA-backed Provider Nondiscrimination Law takes
effect beginning Jan. 1, 2014, and its implementation
will be important in promoting patient access to the safe,
high-quality care that CRNAs provide. Three risks remain
that require AANA’s work and voice on Capitol Hill and
beyond. First, legislation introduced by Rep. Andy Harris
(R-MD), the only anesthesiologist in Congress, seeks to
repeal this law entirely. Second, AANA will have to continue
work with three major federal agencies to promote its
appropriate implementation – and to resist efforts to weaken
the provider nondiscrimination law. Third, AANA will
continue working with state nurse anesthetist associations
and our State Reimbursement Specialists (SRSs) to monitor
its implementation among health plans and to address
discrepancies when they occur.
VHA Recognition of
CRNAs and Other APRNs
as Full Practice Providers
Though the reform of the VHA Nursing Handbook to
recognize CRNAs and other APRNs as full practice providers
is a policy matter within a federal agency, AANA is concerned
that opponents of this proposal may mobilize members of
Congress to raise roadblocks to this critical policy intended
to promote Veterans access to safe, high-quality care. These
roadblocks may occur in the legislative, oversight, and
appropriations processes. AANA and CRNAs will have to
work to keep our voice strong on Capitol Hill to support this
appropriate recognition of CRNA and APRN practice.
Affordable Care Act
Implementation and Oversight
Implementation of the Affordable Care Act accelerates in
2014 with the rollout of health coverage through exchanges
with subsidies for lower-income persons and households,
expansion of Medicaid programs in about half of U.S. states,
and levy of fees and penalties for certain persons who have
not obtained health insurance. Implementation deadlines
have also been subject to considerable changes. For CRNAs,
the AANA will continue working on Capitol Hill and in
federal agencies to promote the protection and advancement
of CRNA practice as a beneficial part of the solution for
healthcare quality improvements, access to care, and control
of runaway costs.
CRNA-PAC 2013 Annual Report | 11 | 2014 Legislative Initiatives
Title VIII Educational Funding
and Graduate Nursing Education
(GNE) Implementation
Congressional adoption of a two-year budget agreement
in December 2014 reduces but does not eliminate risks
of further cuts to Title VIII nurse workforce development
programs critical to the development and modernization
of CRNA educational programs around the country. The
budget agreement reduces but does not eliminate the
budget “sequestration” process that threatened Title VIII
programs with cuts approaching 9% in 2013. In addition,
the AANA-backed GNE demonstration project will be
reaching its halfway point in 2014, and its assessment
in support of its extension and improvement is getting
under way now. Finally, the Title VIII nurse workforce
development programs themselves expire at the end of
2014, and must be extended to ensure their continued
funding and educational program benefits. To promote
nurse workforce development in 2014 and beyond, the
AANA will continue working with nursing organizations,
healthcare industry and patient groups to advance APRN
and CRNA education as crucial to meeting present and
future healthcare needs for our aging population.
National Elections
in 2014, with Primary
Elections Taking Place All
Year Long
In November 2014, all 435 members of the U.S. House of
Representatives will be on the ballot, as well as one third
of the 100-member U.S. Senate. Primary elections and
convention processes among Republican, Democratic,
and other political parties in each state will determine
candidates’ appearance on the ballot. The Federal
Election Commission has listed 2014 federal elections
by state at this website: http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/
fe2014/2014pdates.pdf. For the AANA to have the strong
voice it needs in Washington to protect and advance CRNA
practice, the AANA and CRNAs will be involved in many of
these elections as voters, volunteers, campaign supporters
and contributors, and investors in the CRNA-PAC.
