Where Do CAAs Practice?

CAAs are authorized to practice in 17 jurisdictions -- 15 states, Washington, DC, and the US Territory of Guam. CAAs may practice at any Veterans Affairs facility in all 50 states. The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recognize both CAAs and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) as non-physician anesthesia providers. Similarly, commercial insurance payers make no distinction between the two anesthetist types with regard to payments for services provided under medical direction by a physician Anesthesiologist.
