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.
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 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.
