Provider types
Anesthesiologist Assistant Credentialing Services
Anesthesiologist assistants enroll in Medicare on the CMS-855I. Texas Medicaid may reimburse AAs, and services performed under the personal or direct supervision of a licensed anesthesiologist may be billed under the AA's own Texas Medicaid provider number.
Medicare
Anesthesiologist assistants are listed among the individual practitioners who enroll on the CMS-855I.
Texas Medicaid
Texas rules describe AA services performed under the personal or direct supervision of a licensed anesthesiologist, consistent with Texas Medical Board rules for physician delegation and supervision.
Enrollment in Texas Medicaid comes before any Medicaid managed care plan can enroll you; each plan then contracts and credentials separately.
