Each physician who provides anesthesia services or performs a procedure for which anesthesia services are provided in an outpatient setting, including the use of analgesics and anxiolytics, must register and pay a fee to the Texas Medical Board. The current fee for office-based anesthesia is a total of $210, per physician.
In addition, each physician who registers with the TMB for office-based anesthesia, or OBA, must identify what level of anesthesia services are provided at each practice site, with some exception for anesthesiologists.
Registration for OBA will be combined with the physician biennial registration. If you need to register to provide OBA services between registrations, please contact the Registration Department, for the proper forms.
Please visit Chapter 173 in the Board Rules for the complete regulations.
