No, you are likely not being double-billed but instead may be receiving bills for two different anesthesia professionals. If you received anesthesia services from a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) or a Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant (CAA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) require that you receive a bill for both the services provided by the CRNA/CAA and the anesthesiologist that medically supervised that CRNA/CAA. This does not result in a higher charge than having anesthesia administered directly by an anesthesiologist.
