Kentucky prompt pay law dental
Under KRS 304.17A-702; 304.17A-730; 304.17C-090, the Kentucky payment deadline is 30 days for clean/complete claims. KRS 304.17A-730 sets one retroactive rate by how late the claim is ultimately paid: 12% per year if paid 1–30 days late, 18% if 31–60 days late, and 21% beyond 60 days — the top tier triggers at day 61, not day 90 as often misquoted. Dental applicability: Expressly covered by a dedicated bridge statute. Self-funded (ERISA) plans are outside this statute — federal ERISA deadlines apply to them instead.
