Question 1

Is there AI software designed for Certified Anesthesiologist Assistants?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MyPreOp.ai supports CAAs at the same feature set and pricing as CRNAs. The workflow is identical — pre-op clearance review, Anesthesia Pre-Op Form auto-extraction, intraoperative charting on iPad. The product was originally built for CRNAs but the documentation requirements and clinical decision points are the same for CAAs operating under the Anesthesia Care Team (ACT) model.

Question 2

How is CAA workflow different from CRNA workflow with AI tools?

Accepted Answer

Operationally, the day-to-day documentation workflow is very similar — pre-op evaluation, ASA classification, chart review, intraop record, post-anesthesia note. The structural difference is supervision: CAAs work under the Anesthesia Care Team model with a supervising anesthesiologist. AI documentation tools should make this delegation cleaner, not harder. MyPreOp.ai signs every chart under the provider account that completed the work, and supports the standard CAA + anesthesiologist sign-off workflow when a practice configures it.

Question 3

In which states are CAAs licensed?

Accepted Answer

Certified Anesthesiologist Assistants are licensed or recognized for practice in a growing list of states, including Alabama, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, and others — as well as the VA and TRICARE systems. CAAs always practice under medical direction by an anesthesiologist per the ACT model. State-by-state licensure rules continue to evolve; check the American Academy of Anesthesiologist Assistants (AAAA) for current status.

Question 4

What does MyPreOp.ai cost for a CAA?

Accepted Answer

Anesthesia Pro is $59/month per provider, the same as for CRNAs and anesthesiologists. Unlimited pre-op clearances, unlimited intraop cases, Chat with Anesthesia included, annual billing saves 10%. For groups, the Surgeon Practice plan at $499/month covers up to 10 providers (including CAAs and CRNAs under one anesthesiologist's medical direction). Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
