Great opening session at
#ANES24 by
@ASAGrassroots President Ron Harter! Congratulations to
@marydahlen for earning & receiving the
@ASALifeline Distinguished Service Award. Dr. Harter outlined the challenges & solutions regarding
@CMSGov’s low payment for anesthesia services, big health insurance No/Low/Late paying after
#NoSurprisesAct arbitration determinations, & issues with
@AHIPCoverage,
@txhealthplans members,
@BCBSAssociation, &
@Aetna denying payment for ASA Physical Status Modifiers. ASA is taking action, filing amicus briefs supporting
@texmed lawsuits (whose president is anesthesiologist
@DocRayC), backing congressional legislation by
@RepGregMurphy to fine
#healthplans triple damages for non-payment after NSA IDR, supporting Medicare payment reform, and working to restore payment for ASA physical status.
