It’s litterally all we know how to do

The 2027 anesthesia cut lands January 1. Is your group ready?

CMS has proposed lowering the Medicare anesthesia conversion factor from $20.4976 to $20.2143 for most clinicians. That’s a 1.38% cut, as the one-time 2026 boost expires.

It sounds small until you multiply it by your volume. A group billing 500,000 Medicare anesthesia units a year would collect about $141,000 less. And because many commercial and Medicaid contracts are tied to Medicare rates, the impact can spread further.

The final rule is expected around November 1, and that leaves very little time. Our new guide lays out a simple month-by-month plan:

📊 October: Measure your exposure by facility and payer
📝 November: Update your reimbursement tables and start stipend conversations
✅ December: Close out 2026 cleanly, including MIPS data
🔍 January: Check the first 2027 payments against expected rates

The groups that prepare now will feel this cut far less than the ones that discover it on their first January remittance.

Anesthesia coverage at surgery centers is the easiest it has been in four ASCA surveys.

ASCA's third-quarter 2026 survey found that 76% of 307 ASCs now report adequate access to anesthesia providers, up from 56% in 2022. Large centers still lag at 70%, and 43% of them pay financial assistance to keep coverage in place. Stipends and collections guarantees are the most common deals.
When a guarantee is on the line, every anesthesia claim counts. Clean time documentation. Correct modifiers. Fast follow-up on denials.
That is the Cosentus R+A model at work: Zeus AI handles the volume, real anesthesia billing experts handle the judgment.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝟯𝟬% 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲?

That’s how much more our clients have collected after partnering with us.*

It doesn’t come from working harder. It comes from closing the gaps most practices never see:

→ Claims that go out clean the first time
→ Denials that get fought, not written off
→ Underpayments caught before they disappear
→ A/R that never ages past the point of recovery

Zeus Health pairs AI with expert billing and coding teams, so every dollar you’ve earned gets collected.

Stipends are quickly becoming the norm. According to Becker’s ASC, the share of surgery centers expecting to pay anesthesia stipends jumped from 28% in 2024 to 44% in 2025.

But before a hospital or ASC pays to close the gap, it wants proof the gap isn’t a billing problem. That means your net collection rate, days in A/R, aged A/R, and payer mix by facility will all be on the table.

In our latest article, we cover:

→ The metrics facilities review before funding a stipend
→ The revenue leaks to fix before you ask
→ How to build a stipend model on your own data
→ Why performance-based stipends are coming

Walk into your next negotiation with numbers you can defend. 👇

It was a privilege to sit down with the team at 𝗔𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 (𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗢) this week to kick off our new partnership.

ANCO is one of Maryland’s largest independent, physician-led anesthesia groups, with 550+ anesthesiologists and CRNAs across 54+ hospitals and surgery centers, serving the state for over 30 years.

What stood out most was a shared commitment to doing things the right way. Our working session was focused and collaborative, and the dinner that followed felt like the start of a real partnership.

I’m grateful for the trust the ANCO team has placed in Cosentus, and proud of our team for the work that brought us here. Excited for what we’ll build together. 🤝

AI is speeding up prior authorization. It is not taking people out of denials.

A Fitch Ratings analysis reported this month says regulators are likely to keep requiring human involvement when care is denied. Since January 1, 2026, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and CHIP payers must decide standard requests within seven calendar days, urgent ones within 72 hours, and state a specific reason for each denial.

For specialty practices, that reason is the starting point for a stronger appeal. Track it. Answer it. Recover the revenue.

That is the Cosentus R+A model at work: Zeus AI handles the volume, real specialty experts handle the judgment.
