Commercial prompt paymentWisconsin's general claims rule says an insurer must promptly pay every insurance claim. A claim is overdue if it is not paid within 30 days after the insurer is furnished written notice of the fact of a covered loss and of the amount of the loss. If the notice covers only part of the claim, that part is overdue after 30 days, and any later-supported part gets its own 30 days. A payment is not overdue when the insurer has reasonable proof that it is not responsible. Overdue payments bear simple interest at 7.5 percent per year. For chiropractic services the 30 days run from the insurer's receipt of the chiropractor's clinical documentation. The section applies only to the classes of claims listed in Wis. Stat. 646.31(2); it is a general claims rule with no separate electronic and paper deadlines.
