Dentovio public answer
North Carolina prompt pay law dental
Under N.C. Gen. Stat. §58-3-225, the North Carolina payment deadline is 30 days for clean/complete claims. Late payments bear interest at 18% per year beginning the day after the claim should have been paid (§58-3-225(e)). Dental applicability: Covered — and the reasoning matters. Self-funded (ERISA) plans are outside this statute — federal ERISA deadlines apply to them instead.
