Section 686A.660 - Misrepresentation of provisions of a policy

1. Each insurer shall fully disclose to first-party claimants all pertinent benefits, coverages or other provisions of an insurance contract or policy under which a claim is presented.

2. No agent may conceal from a first-party claimant any of the benefits, coverages or other provisions of any insurance contract or policy when pertinent to a claim.

3. No insurer may deny a claim for failure to exhibit the property without proof of demand and unfounded refusal by a claimant.

4. No insurer may, except where there is a time limit specified in the insurance contract or policy, require a claimant to give written notice of loss or proof of loss within a specified time or seek to relieve the insurer of the obligations if the requirement is not complied with, unless the failure to comply prejudices the insurer's rights.

5. No insurer may request a first-party claimant to sign a release which extends beyond the condition or occurrence which gave rise to the claim payment.

6. No insurer may issue a check or draft in partial settlement of a loss or claim under a specific coverage if the check or draft contains language which releases the insurer or its insured from its total liability.
