Bill > S0944

This bill amends Florida statutes to modify the timeframe for insurance overpayment claims submitted to certain healthcare providers, specifically adding psychologists (licensed under chapter 490) to the list of providers subject to a 12-month limitation on overpayment claims. Currently, health insurers and health maintenance organizations are restricted from submitting overpayment claims to providers such as physicians, dentists, and other healthcare professionals after 12 months from the original claim payment, with an exception for cases involving fraud convictions. The bill explicitly extends this 12-month limitation to include psychologists, ensuring that insurers cannot seek overpayment from these providers more than 12 months after the original claim payment, except in cases of proven fraud. The changes will apply to claims for services provided on or after January 1, 2026, and the bill itself will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving healthcare providers and insurance companies time to adjust to the new regulation.
