> Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield recently decided to "no longer pay for anesthesia care if the surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes," according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, which opposed the decision.
Heh. When EU authorities started implementing (partial) refunds for flight delays over x minutes, the airlines just added 30 or so minutes to their flight schedules, so most of the times they land early - wahey, progress! If the law got implemented I can imagine surgeons padding surgery time to make sure their patients get adequate care.
- kittikitti 2y agoI still feel this is a better approach. It's absurd that consumers have to pay out if they miss a flight or appointment even if it's 2 minutes over the deadline yet when corporations are late they can just say "oopsie" and get away with it. Incentivizing a buffer time and providing consequences for scammy time estimates is something I would appreciate.
