Stay in the Know: Who’s Pocketing the Anesthesia Stipend Money?

As anesthesia workforce shortages persist nationwide, more hospitals and ASCs are paying stipends to secure anesthesia coverage.

About 80% of hospitals now offer some form of anesthesia stipend, citing factors such as unfavorable payer mix, irregular OR schedules, low facility utilization and administrative responsibilities that fall on anesthesia groups. The share of ASCs expecting to pay anesthesia stipends jumped from 28% in 2024 to 44% in 2025, according to a VMG Health report, a 57% increase in a single year.

Stay in the Know: Is the Anesthesia Shortage Now the Real Limit on ASC Growth?

For ASC leaders, anesthesia has become one of the most consequential limits on growth. Persistent shortages of anesthesiologists and CRNAs, driven by rising surgical demand and training bottlenecks, are straining coverage — particularly in rural and hard-to-staff markets. At some facilities, anesthesia access has surpassed traditional concerns like staffing costs or supply chain pressures as the primary rate-limiting factor on OR utilization. As reimbursement declines and rising labor costs push more ASCs toward stipends, leaders say the difference between expansion and stalled capacity may increasingly come down to whether they can stabilize anesthesia coverage.

Stay in the Know: 10 Anesthesia Controversies in 2026

Anesthesia has spent 2026 at the center of some of healthcare's most contentious policy fights. From payer time caps and Elevance's out-of-network facility penalties to UnitedHealthcare's 15% CRNA rate cut, physical status modifier eliminations, and the ongoing nerve block coverage denial from Medicare Administrative Contractors, providers are contending with a stack of controversies that keep growing. Add in No Surprises Act arbitration abuse, the U.S. Anesthesia Partners FTC lawsuit, private equity's expanding footprint, student loan caps affecting CRNA programs, and the pushback over CRNA scope-of-practice restrictions — and it's clear why anesthesia leaders say the specialty has never been under more simultaneous pressure.

Stay in the Know: Congress Face-Plants on Surprise Health Care Bills

Official Washington, and more surprisingly Donald Trump's administration, is doing something that you almost never see: admitting policy failure. In late 2020, Trump signed the No Surprises Act, which was intended to prevent the intolerable situation of patients getting unexpected and enormous bills for medical treatment undertaken by "out-of-network" providers. The No Surprises Act set up a process whereby insurance companies and providers would negotiate over these out-of-network charges, and patients wouldn't take the hit. It's succeeded in that respect: People aren't getting surprise bills. But it's failed on virtually every other score, merely shifting an overly bureaucratic, wildly extractive, and unendingly wasteful nightmare to another venue.

Stay in the Know: The Anesthesia Workforce Cliff Nobody's Planning For

Workforce projections increasingly paint a picture the healthcare system isn't prepared for: HRSA estimates a shortage of roughly 8,450 anesthesiologists by 2037, with 57% of practicing anesthesiologists already over the age of 55 and more than 17% nearing retirement. On the CRNA side, the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology reports 12% of CRNAs plan to retire by 2027, and a projected shortage of 12,500 CRNAs by 2033 would represent nearly 22% of today's workforce. Meanwhile, roughly 44% of medical students seeking an anesthesiology residency didn't match in the most recent cycle — a bottleneck that will limit new supply for years to come.

Stay in the Know: Why The Anesthesia Pipeline is Failing: 10 Numbers to Know

Anesthesia has become one of the most persistent staffing headaches for ASCs and hospitals alike.

It’s not just a bad labor market, but a pipeline problem stacked on top of an aging workforce, a bottlenecked training system and a reimbursement environment that’s making it harder to attract new anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists into the specialty.

Here are 10 numbers that show why the pipeline is buckling:

Stay in the Know: Anesthesia’s Payment Problem, Explained

Most physicians are paid according to relative value units tied to an office visit, exam or procedure, but anesthesiologists are not.

Their compensation runs on a unit-based formula that reflects a procedure’s complexity, a patient’s medical condition and the amount of time an anesthesiologist spends managing that patient’s care — a structure unique enough among physician specialties that even many physicians outside the field don’t fully understand it.

Anesthesia payment is built on four components.

Stay in the Know: The $4,000-a-day anesthesia stipend bubble — and when it pops

Anesthesia stipends continue to skyrocket, with the share of ASCs expecting to pay stipends jumping from 28% in 2024 to 44% in 2025, according to a VMG Health report, a 57% increase in a single year.

Additionally, 60% of ASC leaders ranked anesthesia coverage among their top three financial challenges for 2026, according to the same VMG Health survey, making it the most commonly cited operational concern heading into the year.

Stay in the Know: What Will It Take to Truly Fix Anesthesia?

Anesthesia leaders say the specialty is approaching a period of structural instability as financial pressure, workforce shortages and operational strain converge across hospitals and ASCs. Reimbursement stagnation, aggressive payer tactics and rigid employment models are colliding with rising surgical demand and growing reliance on locum tenens staffing. Truly fixing anesthesia, leaders told Becker's, will require more than short-term stipends and staffing patches — it will take aligning reimbursement with the true cost of coverage, rebuilding the training pipeline, and restoring anesthesia's role as a strategic perioperative partner rather than a line-item expense.

Stay in the Know: The Anesthesia Luxury Most ASCs Can't Afford

For years, the all-MD anesthesia model has been the gold standard in the outpatient setting — but for a growing share of ASCs, it has quietly become the anesthesia luxury they can't afford. As reimbursement stagnates, salaries climb and shortages deepen, more centers are pivoting to CRNA-only or MD/CRNA hybrid staffing models to keep operating rooms open. Combined with rising anesthesia stipends and increasingly aggressive payer tactics, the financial math on an all-physician anesthesia team no longer works for many small and independent centers, particularly those without the commercial payer mix to offset it.
