The most commonly accepted carriers among nurse anesthetists in Florida include medicare, unitedhealthcare, cigna, qhp-17091, and molina.

Anesthesia costs are determined by procedure complexity. Typical surgery anesthesia is $500 to $2,000 (billed to insurance). An epidural for labor costs $1,000 to $3,000 (covered as maternity). Out of pocket with insurance: $0 to $200 copay/coinsurance. Actual costs in Florida depend on the provider and your insurance plan. The No Surprises Act protects you from surprise out-of-network anesthesia bills at in-network facilities. Still, verify before elective procedures that your anesthesia provider is in-network. Anesthesia involves a separate bill from the surgeon and facility.

Anesthesia services from CRNAs are covered by all insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare reimburses CRNA services at the same rate as anesthesiologist services. The most common billing issue is out-of-network anesthesia providers at in-network facilities (surprise billing). The No Surprises Act (effective 2022) protects you from out-of-network anesthesia bills at in-network facilities for most plan types. You should still verify coverage before elective procedures. Anesthesia for labor and delivery is covered as a maternity benefit.
