Florida prompt pay law dental
Under Fla. Stat. §627.6131; §641.3155; §627.613; Ch. 636, the Florida payment deadline is 20 days to pay, deny, or contest (electronic) and 40 days to pay, deny, or contest (paper). Overdue payments bear simple interest at 12% per year, beginning when the claim should have been paid, denied, or contested, and the interest must be paid with the claim (§627.6131(7); identical for HMOs at §641.3155(6)). Dental applicability: Three lanes. Self-funded (ERISA) plans are outside this statute — federal ERISA deadlines apply to them instead.
