Anthem BCBS stated, 'There has been significant widespread misinformation about an update to our anesthesia policy.' The reversal comes after public backlash and clarification attempts.
In their initial notice, Anthem BCBS indicated, 'Claims submitted with reported time above the established number of minutes will be denied.' This raised alarms among healthcare providers.
State officials intervened before the policy took effect, with Connecticut Comptroller Sean Scanlon expressing relief, saying, 'My office reached out to Anthem,' resulting in policy cancellation.
New York Governor Hochul expressed outrage over the intended coverage cuts, emphasizing that the public's response played a critical role in halting this policy change.
