This bill, effective July 1, 2026, makes changes to how insurers and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) can recover overpayments made to healthcare providers. Specifically, it prohibits insurers and HMOs from adjusting a provider's future claim to recoup an overpayment from a past claim, and it shortens the time frame for insurers and HMOs to request repayment of an overpayment from two years to one year. This aims to provide more clarity and protection for providers in the claims payment process.
