Prohibiting certain terms in a contract between a health insurer and a dentist and requiring that reviews, audits or investigations of healthcare providers be completed within six months.

HB 2247 requires health insurers to complete reviews, audits, or investigations of dental claims within six months of payment, preventing prolonged delays in settling disputes. It prohibits insurers from denying claims for dental procedures already approved through prior authorization, unless specific conditions apply (like changed patient conditions, new procedures, or documentation failures). The bill also bans contract terms that restrict dentists' ability to bill patients for services deemed "dental necessity" under professional standards, directly affecting dentists and insurers in Kansas. Key exceptions include fraud investigations, inappropriate billing patterns, and federal requirements, ensuring the six-month timeline doesn't apply to these cases.
