MINOR
The bill was amended to expand its scope by adding a new statute (641.3155) alongside the existing one (627.6131), ensuring consistent overpayment claim submission requirements apply to both private health insurance and health maintenance organizations. The substantive policy content regarding the 12-month claim submission deadline and fraud exceptions remains unchanged, but the amendment clarifies applicability across both insurance types.
Scope change
The bill now explicitly applies to claims submitted to health maintenance organizations in addition to other licensed providers, expanding the scope of covered entities from one statute to two.
SCOPE

Added amendment to section 641.3155 regarding health maintenance organizations to mirror the requirements in section 627.6131 for private health insurance.
