Anesthesia for All Act
This bill prohibits health plans and insurers from imposing arbitrary time limits on paying for anesthesia services during medically necessary procedures. It requires payment to be based solely on a provider's assessment of medical necessity (by an anesthesiologist or certified nurse anesthetist), not fixed time caps. The law applies to both private insurance and Medicaid, preventing denials of payment simply because care duration exceeded a preset limit. It also mandates annual oversight reports from the Health and Human Services Inspector General to monitor compliance.
