HSB 190 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the recovery of overpayment of a claim by a dental carrier.

This bill establishes rules for dental insurance companies (dental carriers) recovering overpayments made to dentists or dental practices (dental care providers). It requires carriers to provide written notice of overpayments within 365 days of payment, including details of the error, and to create clear appeal processes allowing providers 90 days to dispute the recovery. Carriers may recover overpayments by withholding payments on future claims but must give immediate written notice identifying the original overpayment and affected claims. The bill prohibits contracts from bypassing these rules, making any such agreement invalid.
