You know how in many industries there is a standard amount of time something takes and that determines the standard cost? Like it takes .5 work hours to change your oil so they charge .5 of labor + cost? Well, as I understand it, the plan was to limit the amount of anesthesia they'd cover based on the standard/expected time a medical procedure would take.

"In other words, if a procedure takes longer than expected, patients may wake up to an unexpected bill." https://www.prevention.com/health/a63104965/blue-cross-blue-shield-anthem-insurance-anesthesia-time-limit/
