Cloud Anesthesia
Exceptional Physicians, exceptional care
Cloud Anesthesia was formed in 2018 and was the result of two local physicians looking for a better way. The advantage of scheduling with us is knowing that the physician who arrives for your procedure will be of the highest caliber. Trust that your anesthesiologist will never be an unknown quantity as is currently seen in larger anesthesia groups. Reach us here to allow an opportunity to prove ourselves.

It functions by the following:Protects patients from surprise bills - The NSA prohibits surprise bills for most emergency services and certain non-emergency services from out-of-network providers. It also protects patients from surprise bills for services provided by out-of-network clinicians at in-network facilities.Limits cost sharing - The NSA limits the amount patients pay out of pocket to a level closer to what they would pay if the provider were in-network.Provides a dispute resolution process - The NSA provides a process for insurance companies to settle disputes over provider charges.Requires providers to disclose patient protections - The NSA requires some healthcare providers and facilities to disclose patient protections against balance billing.Requires providers and plans to help patients access cost information - The NSA requires providers and health plans to help patients access health care cost information.The NSA applies to consumers covered under group health plans and group and individual health insurance coverage. It took effect on January 1, 2022.

You are then free to add more cases as the day gets closer. If a certain date is not available, we can respond quickly with alternatives.
