Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield faced significant backlash over a proposed anesthesia policy that would limit payment for anesthesia services based on procedure duration. Following widespread criticism from anesthesiologists and state officials, Anthem has reversed the policy in Connecticut, New York, and Missouri, clarifying that it will continue to cover medically necessary anesthesia services. The American Society of Anesthesiologists condemned the policy as a harmful attempt to cut costs, raising concerns about patient care and financial burdens on providers.
Nuvance Health and Northwell Health are seeking state approval for a merger aimed at addressing Nuvance's $99 million deficit and enhancing healthcare services in Western Connecticut. Northwell plans to invest $1 billion over five years, promising to maintain critical services and engage with the community. Public support for the merger has been expressed, particularly regarding commitments to preserve labor and delivery services at Sharon Hospital.

Oh snap! Failed to reconnect with the server. This is typically caused by a longer network outage, or if the server has been taken down. You can try to reconnect, but if that does not work, you need to reload the page.
Oh man! The server rejected the attempt to reconnect. The only option now is to reload the page, but be prepared that it won't work, since this is typically caused by a failure on the server.
