# Nevada prompt pay law dental

Answer: Under Nev. Rev. Stat. §689B.255; §695G.340; §686A.310, the Nevada payment deadline is 21 days (submitted electronically) and 30 days (not submitted electronically). Current law requires the insurer to "pay interest on the claim at a rate of 10 percent per annum" (§689B.255(1) as amended by ch. 366, Stats. 2025 — AB 52 — effective January 1, 2026 and applying to claims submitted on or after that date). Dental applicability: Nevada's prompt-pay section keys on "a policy of group health insurance or blanket insurance," and chapter 689B applies only to group health and blanket accident and health contracts. 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.

## Review state

Dentovio is an independent publisher, not a law firm, insurance department, or government agency. This page was drafted with AI assistance and read against the primary sources linked here, with a per-claim verification record — quote, statutory pinpoint, and the URL actually opened — behind every deadline, rate, and applicability verdict in all fifty-one jurisdictions. It has not been reviewed by a credentialed attorney or dental billing specialist. These pages summarize state prompt-pay statutes as read against the official sources on the date shown, focusing on how each statute treats dental claims. Statutes change and their application turns on plan type, contract status, and claim facts. Educational reference only — not legal advice; confirm current law with the state insurance department or a licensed attorney before acting on a specific claim.
