ConnecticutState policies require 45-day payment for contracted human services
Starting July 1, 2026, the secretary must set policies requiring agencies to pay private providers within 45 days for covered services, when federal law allows.
What it does
The secretary must set policies requiring payment to private providers within 45 days for contracted health and human services, when federal law allows.
Argument forA 45-day payment deadline could help private providers plan their finances when they deliver services under state purchase-of-service contracts.
Argument againstProviders could wait longer for payment if a claim is not properly completed, since the 45-day period starts only after a complete claim or service receipt, whichever comes later.
More detail
The secretary must set policies that include a 45-day payment requirement for covered services. The requirement covers direct health and human services bought under a purchase-of-service contract from a private provider organization. The payment requirement applies to the extent federal law allows. Payment is due no later than 45 days after the later of receipt of a properly completed claim or receipt of the services. This provision takes effect July 1, 2026.
