A. Except in a case of guaranteed issue, application forms for long-term care insurance policies or certificates shall contain clear and unambiguous questions designed to ascertain the condition of health of the applicant.
B. Medical Condition-Medication.
(1) If an application for long-term care insurance contains a question which asks whether the applicant has had medication prescribed by a physician, it shall also ask the applicant to name the medication which has been prescribed.
(2) A long-term care insurance policy or certificate may not be rescinded for failure by the applicant to list in the application for the policy or certificate a medical condition, if the medications listed in the application were known or should have been known by the insurer at the time of application to be directly related to a medical condition for which coverage would otherwise be denied.
C. An insurer issuing long-term care insurance shall maintain a record of all policy or certificate rescissions, both Statewide and countywide, except those which the policyholder voluntarily effectuated. The insurer shall annually furnish this information to the Insurance Commissioner in the format in Regulation .29 of this chapter.
