title: Report of the National Commission on Nurse Anesthesia Education. American Association of Nurse Anesthetists Medicare pass-through reimbursement for nurse anesthesia education programs.
abstract: Medicare pass-through dollars for paramedical education are one way hospitals can still get reimbursed on the basis of their costs under the prospective payment system. To qualify, a hospital must demonstrate that it has some involvement in the operation of the nurse anesthesia program. Establishment of a cost center for school-related expenses can help maximize reimbursement.
