Blue Cross/Blue Shield want to stop covering anesthesiology drugs beyond a fixed amount of time

during

surgeries?

So if a surgery goes longer than their time allotment, coverage stops on

anaesthesia?!

I mean

I mean

I mean

there’s also the whole “nothing says quality medicine like rushing a surgery team” but

HOLY SHIT YOU MONSTERS

Frame from a Dr. Glaucomflecken skit wherein he points out that this apparently comedic nonsense about health insurance companies is actually 100% a real policy actually being rolled out by Blue Cross/Blue Shield, one of the largest medical insurers in the US. It's captioned "Yes, this is a real policy BCBS is rolling out" and "Blue Cross will stop paying for general anaesthesia for the rest of the surgery."

They really must want to bleed customers, don't they?

Well, leaches would hardly pay for their own now, would they?

Sorry, I was a bit obscure. I'm saying that the leaches at Blue Cross would hardly pay other leaches. It's a case of demarcation.

Don't they produce anaesthesia, of a sort, which keeps you from realizing they're sucking your blood until they've finished?
