Can a CRNA obtain informed consent?
The CRNA can obtain informed consent IF they are obtaining it for a procedure that they are performing and they will be billing for. If they are obtaining it for the MD and he/she will be listed as the anesthesiologist and will be billing for it then NO they cannot obtain informed consent on behalf of the MD. 6. 4/22/08 Q: If a person is nationally certified but not certified by the state in a particular area can they sign their name and wear a name tag that indicates that they are certified in that particular specialty? A: This raises the question of how one represents themselves and if in fact it says certified on the name tag it implies that they are certified in the state (facility) in which they are working. If one does not have state certification then they should not wear a name tag that indicates that they are. 7.
