the sole providers of anesthetics in 85 percent of 
rural hospitals. 
(11) CRNAs work in almost every setting in 
which anesthesia is given, including operating rooms, 
dental offices, pain clinics, and ambulatory surgical 
settings. 
(12) Amending the Federal Employees’ Com-
pensation Act to recognize PAs and NPs as covered

(13) The exclusion of PAs, NPs, CNSs, CNMs, 
and CRNAs from the category of covered providers 
under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act 
limits patients’ access to medical care, services, and 
supplies, disrupts continuity of care, and creates un-
necessary costs for the Office of Workers’ Com-
pensation Programs.
