A new amendment was added to New York Assembly Bill A5375-A and Senate Bill S7918-A, which would allow health insurers to unilaterally place limits on anesthesia time during surgery.Please urge your state lawmakers to OPPOSE New York Assembly Bill A5375-A and Senate Bill S7918-A so that patients can receive the safest, highest-quality anesthesia care without the intrusion of profits by health insurance companies.
Why This Matters:
- Patient Safety: Time limits on anesthesia coverage can jeopardize patient safety by forcing premature decisions about care. Patients deserve the right to receive the necessary anesthesia services without the pressure of arbitrary time constraints.
- Quality of Care: Anesthesia is a critical component of many medical procedures. Limiting coverage can lead to inadequate pain management and negatively impact patient outcomes.
- Equity in Healthcare: All patients should have equal access to necessary medical services, regardless of the time required for their treatment. Time limits disproportionately affect vulnerable populations who may require extended care.
Share this message with your networks to raise awareness about the importance of comprehensive anesthesia coverage.
Together, we can ensure that all patients receive the quality care they deserve without unnecessary limitations.
