262.992 Preserving the Anesthesia Care Team Model
The Medical Society of the State of New York will develop a policy in support of physician supervision of nurse anesthetists and will seek adoption of legislation stipulating that, regardless of location or type of health insurance coverage, a patient undergoing any medical treatment requiring anesthesia in a hospital or ambulatory surgical center be guaranteed that a physician-anesthesiologist will either personally administer or supervise a nurse anesthetist in the administration of anesthesia or that a designated surgeon has agreed to medically supervise the nurse anesthetist.
