This was my experience when my partner received treatment and the insurance company refused to cover the anesthesia charges (they claimed anesthesia was optional for the procedure and thus wasn't covered). The anesthesiologist's office was surprised that it wasn't covered and waived the charges.

It was the only bright spot in a prolonged battle with the insurance company and the hospital.

Optional anesthesia may be a new trend. Restraints and a bite belt are cheaper, but the hospital would figure out a way to milk that too.
