Dentovio public answer
Hawaii prompt pay law dental
Sourced answer
Under Haw. Rev. Stat. §431:13-108, the Hawaii payment deadline is 15 calendar days (filed electronically) and 30 calendar days (filed in writing). Interest runs at 15 percent a year — from the first calendar day after the 30-day period for a written claim, or after the 15-day period for an electronic one (§431:13-108(g)(1)). Dental applicability: Covered by name. A self-funded private-employer (ERISA) plan is generally beyond this statute's reach and runs on the federal claims-procedure clock instead — but that comes from the courts reading 29 U.S.C. § 1144, not from its text, and it is not categorical: a self-funded governmental or church plan is not an ERISA plan at all, § 1144(b)(6) leaves multiple employer welfare arrangements open to state insurance law, and nothing in § 1144 bars a state from reaching the third-party administrator or the network contract.
