CRNAs are in demand. Salaries are strong. Jobs are plentiful. So why is Dr. Randy Moore sounding the alarm?

In this episode, Randy joins Sharon and guest host Kevin Chem, DNP, CRNA to unpack his viral Substack article, “No One Is Coming to Save Us.” The core message is uncomfortable but clear: while anesthesia organizations remain divided over turf and titles, payers are quietly reshaping reimbursement policy in ways that could have long-term consequences for both CRNAs and anesthesiologists.

Here’s some of what you’ll hear in this episode:

💰 Reimbursement Drives Practice Models 

⚖️ Fragmentation Weakens Leverage 

🏛️ Multi-Front Strategy: Litigation, Legislation, PR
