Anesthesia Contract Negotiations and Anesthesia Subsidy

Anesthesia subsidies have been rising exponentially across the United States due to reduced productivity, provider shortages, the escalating cost of labor, reimbursement pressure, and the proliferation of anesthetizing locations. To secure stable anesthesia services, hospitals, health systems, and anesthesia groups must work together to support market-based compensation while balancing efficiency, cost, and capacity in anesthesia contract negotiations. EHC has extensive expertise in creating optimized anesthesia models, advising on subsidy design, and supporting contract negotiations.
