The bill reduces from 30 months to 12 months the timeframe for a health insurer or health maintenance organization (HMO) to submit claims for overpayment to a licensed psychologist. The bill’s reduction in the look-back period results in licensed psychologists being subject to the same 12-month look-back period for insurer and HMO overpayments as health care providers licensed under chs. 458 (medical practice), 459 (osteopathic medicine), 460 (chiropractic medicine), 461 (podiatric medicine), or 466 (dentistry), F.S. The bill applies to claims for services provided on or after January 1, 2026.
If approved by the Governor, or allowed to become law without the Governor’s signature, these provisions take effect July 1, 2025.
