If the claim is approved, the corporation shall pay the claim within 30 days after it is approved. Except as otherwise provided in this section, if the approved claim is not paid within that period, the corporation shall pay interest on the claim at a rate of interest equal to the prime rate at the largest bank in Nevada, as ascertained by the Commissioner of Financial Institutions, on January 1 or July 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding the date on which the payment was due, plus 6 percent. The interest must be calculated from 30 days after the date on which the claim is approved until the date on which the claim is paid.
2. If the corporation requires additional information to determine whether to approve or deny the claim, it shall notify the claimant of its request for the additional information within 20 days after it receives the claim. The corporation shall notify the provider of dental, hospital or medical services of all the specific reasons for the delay in approving or denying the claim. The corporation shall approve or deny the claim within 30 days after receiving the additional information. If the claim is approved, the corporation shall pay the claim within 30 days after it receives the additional information. If the approved claim is not paid within that period, the corporation shall pay interest on the claim in the manner prescribed in subsection 1.
3. A corporation shall not request a claimant to resubmit information that the claimant has already provided to the corporation, unless the corporation provides a legitimate reason for the request and the purpose of the request is not to delay the payment of the claim, harass the claimant or discourage the filing of claims.

5. A court shall award costs and reasonable attorney’s fees to the prevailing party in an action brought pursuant to this section.
