Health insurance coverage for anesthesia during medical procedures would be addressed by this bill, which would require health benefit plans in Utah to cover medically necessary anesthesia services, regardless of how long the anesthesia takes, for any procedure the plan already covers. It would also bar insurance plans from refusing to pay for anesthesia services solely because the care lasted longer than a preset time limit. These requirements would apply to health benefit plan contracts entered into or renewed on or after January 1, 2027, and the law would take effect May 6, 2026.
