Just a midwestern gal trying not to let the bastards grind her down as a blue dot in a red state. Handmaid's Tale fan; the fiction, not the dystopian reality we're heading into. In RL I work in mental health🩷💜💙 AKA offredtweets

It's a beautiful May Day

Here's more info showing that was proposed for commercial ins--No coverage if it goes over. For managed care it would be covered up to the time limit. Also it wasn't simply aligning with Medicare but using a metric for something it wasn't intended for. People were not off the mark calling this out.
If surgery takes 115 minutes when it has to be completed within 100 minutes, Anthem would not pay for anesthesia but the entire surgery in the commercial market. In managed care the insurer will pay up to the 100 minute mark. Physicians would be able to appeal decisions, think that creates another layer of administrative burden, and hospitals would soon discover they aren't getting paid fully for services. The ASA (American Society for Anesthesiologists) is understanding how exactly the time allotments are calculated. "There using some Medicare information that was not designed to be used for payment considerations and applying it to non Medicare patient population," said Arnold. "For example, if a woman is undergoing a hysterectomy for fibroid bleeding, and her surgeon makes a medical decision within accepted standards of care to extend the surgery time to control bleeding in the surgical field, Anthem BCBS's time limit rule leaves the surgeon and anesthesiologist with two options: 1) a continue the surgery, and the patient will incur additional anesthesia charges beyond the time limit (possibly leading to crippling medical debt); or 2) Prematurely stop the surgery because of Anthem BCBS's time limit," he wrote. Connecticut Attorney General William Tong said in a post the practice could qualify for an unfair insurance practices claim, before the plan changed its mind. Under the new policy, Anthem would have utilized CMS Physician Work Time Values and the policy would not have applied to patients under the age of 22 or in maternity-related care cases. The ASA (American Association for Anesthesiologists) said Anthem's plan promotes incorrect clinical timekeeping and an anesthesia code "may apply to vastly different surgical procedures."

YES!! It was a joking thing about a benefit performance. Bruce Miller also retweeted me in discussions of the series, but for some reason I didn't grab those. Tried to find them before I left, but couldn't. Atwood herself said she didn't write anything that hadn't already happened somewhere.
