Feds Say That In Screening Colonoscopies, Anesthesia Comes With No Charge
Kaiser Health News May 15, 2015 "Although the health law made it clear that the colonoscopy itself must be free for patients, it didn't spell out how anesthesia or other charges should be handled. That lack of clarity allowed insurers to argue at first that if polyps were identified and removed during the colonoscopy, the procedure was no longer a screening test and patients could be billed. In 2013, regulators clarified that patients couldn't be charged for polyps removed during a screening colonoscopy because it was an integral part of the procedure. With this week's guidance, the government has made it clear that consumers don't have to pick up the tab for anesthesia during a colonoscopy either." |
