Kansas HB2247 prohibits certain terms in contracts between health insurers and dentists and mandates timely reviews of healthcare providers.

Kansas HB2247 amends insurance regulations to prohibit contracts between health insurers and dentists from setting fees for services unless they are covered services. It also mandates that reviews, audits, or investigations of healthcare providers must be completed within six months of claims being paid. The bill prohibits insurers from denying claims submitted by dentists for procedures included in prior authorizations, except under specific conditions. The act aims to ensure timely and fair reviews of healthcare providers while protecting dentists from arbitrary fee limitations.
