Comment on CMS-2026-1256-0002
American Society of AnesthesiologistsSupportAdvocacy
Summary: The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) supports the proposed rule but advocates for specific refinements to the CJR-X and TEAM models. They request that CMS ensure anesthesiologists are formally included in gainsharing arrangements, governance structures, and risk-adjustment methodologies to reflect their role in perioperative care and patient outcomes.
