Built on federal price-transparency data · Anesthesiology

Your ASA conversion factor, benchmarked against the groups across town.

Anesthesia reimbursement lives and dies on the conversion factor — and the payer knows every group's number but yours. EarnestMD turns insurers' own published rates into a live workbench so you can see exactly where your CF lands against comparable groups contracted with the same payer.

The problem

Your contract is a single number negotiated years ago and rolled over since. The payer is sitting on the conversion factors of every anesthesia group in your market — you're working from one data point: your own. When the units are fixed by the ASA system, the CF is the negotiation. Walking in without knowing the market CF means negotiating the most important variable blind.

One CF, no context. You can't tell whether yours is at, above, or well below the going rate for groups your size on the same plan.
Stale by default. Most anesthesia contracts haven't been re-opened in years while the market moved.
“We'd like a raise” loses. “Comparable groups are paid a higher conversion factor than you are by this plan” is a different conversation.

What you get

CF benchmarking by payer. Your conversion factor set against comparable anesthesia groups contracted with UHC, BCBS, Aetna, and Cigna — the exact gap, quantified.
Dollar impact by volume. Your annual unit volume × the CF gap = what closing it is worth per year, per payer — quantified in dollars in the workbench.
Site-of-service awareness. Hospital, ASC, and office-based anesthesia economics separated, not blended.
The document you hand the payer. A sanitized market-position proposal that makes your case in their language — your volumes and strategy stay in the internal report.

In practice

A multi-site anesthesia group benchmarked its ASA conversion factor against regional peers on the same insurer, surfaced a material CF gap on its highest-volume codes, and walked in with both an internal strategy model and a payer-ready proposal.

How it works

1. Tell us your practice — NPIs (or group name) + the payers and codes that matter. No claims data, no contracts.
2. We resolve your rates — match your providers and comparable peers to payers’ federally-required published rates.
3. Open the workbench — your rates, benchmarked by payer, code, and site of service; every gap in dollars.
4. Build your ask — rank by recoverable dollars; print a board-ready report and a sanitized payer-facing proposal.

Anesthesiology FAQ

Do you model the conversion factor specifically?: Yes — anesthesia is CF-driven, so the workbench is built around CF comparison by payer and site of service, not a generic fee-schedule view.
What about base + time units?: Anesthesia payment is (base + time + modifier units) × a conversion factor. The unit values are standardized by the ASA Relative Value Guide, so they don't vary between groups — the conversion factor is the variable that actually moves your reimbursement, and that's what we benchmark, by payer and site of service.
Do you need our claims data?: No — just your NPIs (or group name) and the payers that matter.
