No, there are plenty of laws and regulations that address overhead and profit. Contractors charge it and insurance companies pay it. That's the nature of the beast.
The insurance company that doesn't pay it is not only an exception to the rule but runs the risk of breach of contract and bad faith lawsuits as well as sanctions by insurance departments.
There has been much litigation against insurance companies that mess around with overhead and profit, including several class action lawsuits against major insurance companies.

How does a general contractor bill insurance company for overhead and profit?
Just like they would bill any other customer. Most of the time it is not a separate part of the pricing. If a roof needs to be replaced then the adjuster may contact a couple of reputable contractors to get prices. Usually the insurance company prefers that the client choose their contractor but if they need help the adjuster will provide help. The contractors will provide estimates of the entire job and that is the way it would be handled. The insurance company doesn't generally ask for any breakdown other than what the contractor chooses to provide. For instance, a smart contractor will separate material and labor so that they will pay sales tax on the material only but if one price is given sales tax is due on the entire amount.
