Article Overview
This article presents a state-and-locality reference table for Medicare anesthesia conversion factors used by participating anesthesiologists and CRNAs.

Why This Topic Matters
Anesthesia reimbursement can vary by locality, so this table supports accurate payment lookup and geographic billing reference work. It also helps users identify when a state is split into multiple localities rather than using a single statewide factor.
