Kentucky Revised Statutes Title XXV. Business and Financial Institutions § 304.17A-730.Payment of interest for failing to pay, denying, or settling a clean claim as required

(1) An insurer that fails to pay, deny, or settle a clean claim in accordance with KRS 304.17A-700 to 304.17A-730 and KRS 205.593, 304.14-135, and 304.99-123 shall pay interest according to the following schedule on the amount of the claim that remains unpaid:

(2) When paying a claim after the time required by KRS 304.17A-702, the insurer shall add the interest payable to the amount of the unpaid claim without the necessity for any claim for that interest to be made by the provider filing the original claim. The interest obligation otherwise imposed by this section shall not apply if the failure to pay, deny, or settle a claim is due to, or results from, in whole or in part, acts or events beyond the control of the insurer, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics, strikes or other labor disruptions, war, civil disturbance, riot, or complete or partial disruptions of facilities.
