August 21 is National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day. At the California Society of Anesthesiologists (CSA), we're committed to educating our communities about the dangers of illicit fentanyl while highlighting its safe medical use in controlled settings like surgeries and pain management.

Key facts: Synthetic opioids like fentanyl contribute to nearly 70% of overdose deaths in the U.S., and counterfeit pills are a growing threat, involved in about 25% of adolescent overdose deaths.

Prevention starts with awareness:
- Use fentanyl test strips to check for presence in drugs.
- Carry naloxone—it's a lifesaver that reverses opioid overdoses.
- Avoid mixing drugs and never use alone.
- Parents, talk to your kids about counterfeit pills that mimic prescriptions but can be deadly.

Anesthesia providers are facing ongoing challenges with the No Surprises Act, designed to protect patients from surprise bills but often leaving practices in limbo due to insurer delays. As highlighted by former California Society of Anesthesiologists President Dr. Antonio Hernandez Conte in Becker's ASC Review: “The No Surprises Act remains a continual burden for anesthesia practices as insurers delay payments for up to 90 or 120 days even if anesthesia groups are successful in the arbitration dispute resolution process."

This loophole threatens practice sustainability and patient access to care. The ASA and allies are pushing for reforms like the No Surprises Enforcement Act to hold insurers accountable.
