Bill > SB00192

This bill aims to modify Connecticut's insurance laws by prohibiting health insurance companies from arbitrarily setting time limits on coverage for anesthesia services. In practical terms, this means that insurers would no longer be able to unilaterally restrict the duration of anesthesia services that they will cover for medical procedures. By preventing these arbitrary time restrictions, the legislation seeks to ensure that patients can receive the full range of necessary anesthesia services without being constrained by predetermined time limits imposed solely by insurance providers. The bill is designed to protect patients' access to comprehensive medical care by removing potential barriers that could interrupt or limit critical anesthesia services during surgical or medical treatments. While the bill is relatively brief, its intent is to give patients more flexibility and protection in receiving comprehensive medical care by preventing insurance companies from making unilateral decisions that could potentially compromise patient treatment.
