As someone who had 2 major surgeries along with 3 intubations, all requiring anesthesia, last year, this is a highly concerning move by Anthem BCBS (my insurance). How long until this rolls out everywhere? High quality anesthesia for the entire surgical duration is essential.

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.
