Ah, yes. Because who doesn't want a surgeon rushing through a surgery?

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.

It the procedure goes over a certain time, anesthesia will not be covered for the duration.

Wow!

kaitlynsunsword.bsky.social•122 days ago

Not to mention redheads typically need more anesthesia.

In my experience also more like to have a post-partum hemorrhage. But I don’t know if there’s science by that.

mementomorty.bsky.social•122 days ago

Oof. Don't I know it.

jbminn.bsky.social•122 days ago

jbminn.bsky.social•122 days ago

mementomorty.bsky.social•122 days ago

jbminn.bsky.social•122 days ago

When my daughter had her wisdom teeth out she wound up waking up twice during the procedure & had to have more.

This is from The Onion, right?

Not much sympathy for the UHC CEO from me.

vikinggod.bsky.social•122 days ago

Cut my life into pieces, anesthesia as a last resort.

Looks like the guy from this am has another stop to make over in ct.

abney67.bsky.social•122 days ago

CEO have any NYC travel plans coming up?

mementomorty.bsky.social•122 days ago

Looking into it

pinkprincess.bsky.social•122 days ago

A few of them are bound to have holiday plans over here.

ocanada333.bsky.social•122 days ago

This is insanity. People are actually getting paid to come up with this lunacy.

drjhary.bsky.social•122 days ago

Or just cut off anesthesia at the time point the insurance determined was 'necessary.' Cuz that'd be fun.

stephenrodney.bsky.social•122 days ago

sounds like a huge class action lawsuit, of course a few 1000 must die or be injured for life?
what happen to the oath?
first do no harm?

i mean
what the fucking fuck...

japlail.bsky.social•122 days ago

Eh, who needs anesthesia? It's for wimps.

jennobenno.bsky.social•122 days ago

So what do they do? Let you wake up and give you a stick to bite on for the pain while they finish?

taterkaze.bsky.social•122 days ago

Another kind, gentle, and socially responsible monopoly cosplaying the Angel of Death.

1.4 stars?

johnmcmd.bsky.social•122 days ago

Spoiler Alert

All insurance companies are a racket

Buckle up for the nonsense

msbutterfly03.bsky.social•122 days ago

That's generous of them to give over 1 star.

mementomorty.bsky.social•122 days ago

You don't say

msbutterfly03.bsky.social•122 days ago

F them. 🤬

A rushed surgery, where my child's surgeon was being careless, has left her maimed. She has life-long airway issues because of that guy.

ggitsgrant.bsky.social•122 days ago

how is this even legal??

brasscastle.bsky.social•122 days ago

The law is always in the money side.

ggitsgrant.bsky.social•122 days ago

ain’t that the truth. eat the rich

justicar.xyz•122 days ago

Welp, hit our limit on anesthesia. Guess we'll just do it LIVE!

brasscastle.bsky.social•122 days ago

Hello, Harriet. Yes we know it hurts. Here, bite on this stick.

mikestucka.bsky.social•122 days ago

The stick is from an out-of-network durable medical equipment vendor. Please hold while the insurance company determines a surcharge. Call volumes are high.

mementomorty.bsky.social•122 days ago

I don't know maybe violence is the answer? 🤷‍♀️
