Flutterby™! : Anthem screwing anesthesia patients

Not United Healthcare, but... make sure your state's Insurance Commissioner is paying attention: Big Insurer Sets Time Limits On Anesthesia Coverage During Surgeries — A surprise medical bill could be waiting for you when you wake up in the recovery room.

The new policy published last month by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield means patients will not know whether they’re going to be stuck with the massive bill until they wake up from surgery. The policy change will affect more than eight million people covered by Anthem’s commercial and Medicaid insurance plans in Connecticut, New York, and Missouri.
