AI Summary
This bill requires various types of Arizona health insurance providers, including hospital service corporations, medical service corporations, health care services organizations, disability insurers, and group or blanket disability insurers, to reimburse certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) at the same rate they reimburse physicians licensed to practice medicine. This applies to insurance contracts, evidence of coverage, and policies that are issued, amended, or renewed on or after the bill's effective date, and it ensures that CRNAs authorized to perform services under a specific section of Arizona law receive equitable payment. However, the bill does not prevent these insurers from implementing different reimbursement rates based on quality or performance metrics.
