Anesthesia for All Act

The Anesthesia for All Act would prohibit health insurers, including Medicaid managed care organizations and private health plans, from imposing arbitrary time caps on reimbursement for anesthesia services during medically necessary procedures. It requires reimbursement to be based on medical necessity as determined by qualified anesthesia providers and bans denial of payment solely because anesthesia care exceeded a preset time limit. The bill also mandates oversight by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General, including audits, investigations, and periodic reporting to Congress on compliance and violations.
