I am an anesthesiologist. I contract out my services to other physicians to provide anesthesia for procedures in their offices. Since the anesthesia is not done in my office and I am only a contractor, do I need to register for Office Based Anesthesia (OBA)?
Yes, both the anesthesiologist and the physician performing the procedure should be registered for OBA. Statute states that each physician who administers anesthesia or performs a procedure for which anesthesia services are performed in an outpatient setting shall register for OBA and comply with current OBA regulations. Please note, an anesthesiologist who contracts out their services to multiple physicians is not required to register each location where they perform OBA, but only the highest level of OBA services that they provide.

Office staff, such as managers, janitors, etc. who do not provide medical services, would not be required to meet the CME requirement, but would need to be listed in response to a pain clinic audit which requires listing all clinic personnel for that clinic. Documentation of the completed CME course shall be required to be made available upon request by Board Staff, including, but not limited to, during an on-site audit of the clinic, or during the certificate renewal process. The Board does have the authority to conduct audits and inspections at clinics to ensure compliance with all requirements and regulations pertaining to registered pain clinics, including audits of CME training as required.
