Does anyone out there work with SRNA's? My question is can they be left unattended, without supervision. Example: Anesthesiologist steps out for 15 or 30 min break. If it not allowed where can I find documentation to go back to them with proof?

TIA

The ASA has some great information on this subject. It is in PDF format and I am unable to copy the link. So, if you Google: ASA Clarification of Teaching and Payment Scenarios under 2010 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule.....should get you there.
