Rule 18.03.05 - CREDIT LIFE AND CREDIT DISABILITY INSURANCE
Section 18.03.05.013 - DETERMINATION OF REASONABLENESS OF BENEFITS IN RELATION TO PREMIUM CHARGE
Current through August 31, 2023
01. General Standard. Benefits provided by credit insurance policies need to be reasonable in relation to the premium charged. This requirement is satisfied if the premium rate charged develops or is expected to develop a loss ratio of not less than fifty percent (50%). The Department of Insurance has established prima facie rates as a means to achieve the loss ratio benchmark. With the exception of deviations approved under Section 019, prima facie rates filed in accordance with Section 014 as adjusted pursuant to Section 018, may be conclusively presumed to satisfy this general standard. (3-31-22)
02. Nonstandard Coverage. If any insurer files for approval of any form, providing coverage more restrictive than that described in Section 014, the insurer will demonstrate to the satisfaction of the director that the premium rates to be charged for such restricted coverage will develop or may reasonably be expected to develop a loss ratio not less than that contemplated for standard coverage at the premium rates described in these sections.
