Aetna delays move on sedation
From Times Wire Services
Aetna Inc., the third largest U.S. health insurer, will delay plans to end payments to anesthesiologists for some colonoscopies after doctors said the move could hurt patients and discourage cancer testing.
The policy was to take effect April 1, the Hartford, Conn., company said. It will be held off until “patient-friendly alternatives” are approved by U.S. drug regulators, Aetna said.
