More Perfect Union · 11h Blue Cross Blue Shield in Connecticut, New York and Missouri has declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries.
If the procedure goes over a certain time, anesthesia will not be covered for the duration.
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Won’t Pay for the Complete Duration of Anesthesia for Patients’ Surgical Procedures Another Example of Insurers Putting Profits Over Patients
CHICAGO – In an unprecedented move, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans representing Connecticut, New York and Missouri have unilaterally declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia care if the surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes. The American Society of Anesthesiologists calls on Anthem to reverse this proposal immediately.
If these insurance companies don't want to cover these services to their customers, then shut them all down. Watch how quickly the prices will fall.
It is encouraging to see ppl waking up to these scams. Not a fan that somebody was murdered though. Ins companies and Credit Card companies..... We need the CCCA too.
Insurance, in all of it's nefarious forms, is the biggest scam in the history of mankind.
Pay this in case of that, and we may provide help, at our own discretion.
It's pure and simple a money laundering tax.
Absolutely. They take our money, may or may not give something in return, and if they do give something in return they charge us more. I fkn hate the insurance scheme.
Absolutely correct.... This is happening like crazy in Florida...my company is still waiting on payment from customers (28k to be exact)..who are waiting on payouts from insurance companies for Hurricane Helene and Milton damages. People who've paid years on end to receive a certain amount who are now being told they will only give them a lower amount. And once the homeowners don't agree to the random lower amount, then they play hardball and have people who have lost everything living in their front yards in RVs (and that's if they have any money left). In reality, they are hoping the hard times will make the homeowner drop their righteous crusade to get what they deserve or accept the lower payment....with the added bonus that they are going to drop them from coverage or raise their rates after the fact anyways. It's truly disgusting for the homeowners and for legitimate businesses who completed services in good faith and have not received payment.
Yes I see this all the time.
They wait you out until you have nothing left, then they offer you peanuts.
Be sure to compare how the health care companies sound when they speak to how Fauci and friends speak.
They condescend to the people that pay for their livelihood's. THEY HATE US... AND WANT TO KILL US. Listen to THEM!
They see the Gubment money drying up in their future.
What, besides pure greed and pure evil, could possibly be behind this idea???
Those companies are being pilfered. Obamacare has broken insurance for ever. They still want centralized gov controlled universal health rationing.
Will Blue Cross Blue Shield be rebranding as Red Shield?
It's a new insurer tactic. I.e. Property insurance now limiting liability coverage to 20,000 dollars for apartment building. But charging more than 8k annually for policy.
You must have insurance, “it’s the law”.
The civil service have engineered so many monopolies and protected them with their “laws”.
"You have to pay for it, but don't expect to ever use it in the eventuality something traumatic happens."

Do you take Fannie May cheques?
With th cost of home, auto, health insurance and insurance companies trying to weasel out of paying, laws need to be enacted mandating insurance companies not deviating from their contract. When one signs up for insurance, it is a legal, binding contract. Do I condone anyone taking the law into their own hands? No. Can you see why people do when games are being played? Yes.
This is a perfect example of why insurance companies need to be reined in. Following a pure profit model is endangering people's health. It defies common sense.
Hahahaha, patient doctor, would you like anesthesia at the beginning, middle, or end of your surgery? Patient, what. When would you want to feel the pain of surgery. We only get to anestisize you through 66.6% of you surgery. You have to endure the pain 33.3% of the time. Let us know before we begin.
We can pay a bundle out of our pockets or go back to the days when the patient just bit down on a stick.
Time to bud light them a bit.
Apparently they have no idea what bad press does to their stock price.
